Are you ignorant of Oregon's laws and legal history?  Do you know nothing about the passing of Measure 11?

That was a Republican backed initiative, written by the very conservative Kevin Mannix, that the voters of Oregon approved  in 1994.   It has been the law of Oregon for the past 22 years.  If you want to blame anyone here, blame the Republicans in our state for making our laws like this.   They are the ones that brought this situation about.

And the public approved it.  The vote margin was 2 to 1 in favor of Measure 11.   The vote was not at all close.

The people of Oregon wanted this.
