On Challenge to Trump, Oregon Will Wait for Supreme Court
Oregon will not follow the lead of Colorado and Maine and bar Donald Trump from its primary ballot for now. Without ruling on the merits of a challenge to the former president’s candidacy, the state Supreme Court said Friday it will wait for the US Supreme Court to make its decision on the matter, CNN reports. That did not please Free Speech for People, the advocacy group that filed a lawsuit on behalf of five voters seeking Trump’s removal. “Waiting until the US Supreme Court issues its order only compresses the time that the Oregon Supreme Court may have to resolve the issues that may remain,” the group said in a statement.
A spokesman for the Trump campaign approved. “President Trump urges the swift dismissal of all remaining, bad-faith, election interference 14th Amendment ballot challenges,” he said. Like challenges elsewhere, Oregon’s centered on the wording of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which says government officials who engage in insurrection after taking an oath to uphold the Constitution are disqualified from office. The Oregon suit was filed after Secretary of State Lavonne Griffin-Valade said she lacks the authority to keep Trump off a primary ballot, only a general election ballot, per CBS News.
The Oregon court said the US Supreme Court’s ruling “may resolve one or more contentions” in the voters’ suit. Oregon’s chief justice wrote that the challengers can file a new lawsuit if the US Supreme Court’s ruling doesn’t address all of their arguments, per the New York Times. Oregon’s primary is May 21, and election officials say the names on the ballot must be set by March 21. Oral arguments in a case involving Colorado’s primary ballot are scheduled in Washington for Feb. 8. (Read more Donald Trump 2024 stories.)
Dire wolves had their first playdate
The three dire wolves created using fossil DNA had their first official hang just months before their first birthday.
The Oregon State Police and Wildlife Division is seeking the public’s help after a collared wolf from eastern Oregon’s Desolation Pack was found dead in Grant County earlier this month.
The male wolf was discovered the morning of May 18 near Desolation Meadow on public land next to U.S. Forest Service Road 10, about 3.25 miles northwest of Olive Lake, police said in a release.
Investigators said the wolf appeared to have died from a gunshot wound.
A preliminary investigation found the wolf was likely shot sometime between the late evening hours of May 14 and the early morning of May 15. Investigators believe the wolf may have been shot from the roadway.
The investigation involves the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
OSP said rewards are available for information tied to illegal wolf killings. That includes up to $600 through the Oregon Hunters Association and between $10,000 to $11,500 through the Oregon Wildlife Coalition, depending on where the killing occurred.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the “Turn In Poachers” hotline at 1-800-452-7888 or dial OSP (677) from a mobile phone. People can also email TIP@osp.oregon.gov.
Anonymous tips are allowed. Investigators asked callers to reference case number SP26-160166.
