It's also legally required to do so during discovery process.

For the defense?


Yes.

Any relevant evidence discovered during the discovery process must be submitted to the court.

If you don't you will be disbarred and held in contempt of court.

Who in all the fucks do you think deal with crops, cattle and dirt? Martians? It’s people. And there’s a sector of the population, of this people that fucking vote too, and in this gremium, that feels un represented.

I doubt the reps care anymore than the dems do.

Its not elitist. Just because you grow food doesn't mean your entitled to more representation and get to override the will for the majority. dirt and cattle dont vote.

The fact they let Bloomberg on stage, and everything they have been up to, should show they don't care whatsoever.

you cannot just outright REFUSE to listen and work with the rural areas, that's how civil wars can happen, when large groups of people are simply ignored

No, they were voted in to represent their constituents on legislation, which means actually being there to voice agreement or opposition to said legislation. Oregon Republicans are acting insufferable, and no amount of deflection can change that fact.

Since when do we care about following laws? The Democrats already have sanctuary cities sheltering literal criminals and refusing to cooperate with authorities, regardless if it's "legal" or not, clearly there picking and choosing.

Yes.

Any relevant evidence discovered during the discovery process must be submitted to the court.

If you don't you will be disbarred and held in contempt of court.

Since when? I know you have to submit a witness list, and things you intend to use in the trial (with some exceptions), but that's generally it.

Standard 11-2.2 Defense disclosure

(a) The defense should, within a specified and reasonable time prior to trial, disclose to the prosecution the following information and material and permit inspection, copying, testing, and photographing of disclosed documents and tangible objects:

(i) The names and addresses of all witnesses (other than the defendant) whom the defense intends to call at trial, together with all written statements of any such witness that are within the possession or control of the defense and that relate to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness. Disclosure of the identity and statements of a person who will be called for the sole purpose of impeaching a prosecution witness should not be required until after the prosecution witness has testified at trial.

(ii) Any reports or written statements made in connection with the case by experts whom the defense intends to call at trial, including the results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons that the defendant intends to offer as evidence at trial. For each such expert witness, the defense should also furnish to the prosecution a curriculum vitae and a written description of the substance of the proposed testimony of the expert, the expert’s opinion, and the underlying basis of that opinion.

(iii) Any tangible objects, including books, papers, documents, photographs, buildings, places, or any other objects, which the defense intends to introduce as evidence at trial.

(b) If the defense intends to use character, reputation, or other act evidence not relating to the defendant, the defense should notify the prosecution of that intention and of the substance of the evidence to be used.

(c) If the defense intends to rely upon a defense of alibi or insanity, the defense should notify the prosecution of that intent and of the names of the witnesses who may be called in support of that defense.


Notably, the defense is only required to disclose something if it intends to use it or call them at trial. Anything the defense does not intend to use at trial is excluded. (There's also a couple exclusions for things used in the trial, such as impeachment witnesses.)

Provided the defense has no intent to use proof of guilt in the trial (which they wouldn't), under ABA guidelines, they are not required to disclose it.

It will go nowhere as the state government would never approve the result of the referendum nor allow it on the ballot.

What's the purpose of showing up? The opposition in control will simply dominate you if you do, it's the only VIABLE tactic, aside from armed revolt which is what people like you clearly seem intent on stoking.

Elections have consequences. To shut down the government because your in the minority is effectively saying we dont respect democracy or free and fair elections
