"If the court allows Oregon to join, the state’s lawyers could help work on the lawsuit and the state would help cover its costs."

How about we don't join the lawsuit, and let Washington and Minnesota and whoever else bear all the costs and all the labor for the lawsuit? Why do we need to be so charitable to other states, not to mention non-citizens? Ellen ruffling her feathers in this matter is frankly a disservice to Oregon citizens. At least it keeps her from hunting down all of the small business owners she disagrees with.
