"SALEM, Ore. (AP) ? The Oregon Supreme Court said Thursday that 10
Republican state senators who staged a record-long walkout last year to
stall bills on abortion, transgender health care and gun rights cannot
run for reelection.

The decision upholds the secretary of state?s decision to disqualify the
senators from the ballot under a voter-approved measure aimed at
stopping such boycotts. Measure 113, passed by voters in 2022, amended
the state constitution to bar lawmakers from reelection if they have
more than 10 unexcused absences.

Last year?s boycott lasted six weeks ? the longest in state history ?
and paralyzed the legislative session, stalling hundreds of bills."

Y'all should just have a ballot measure to ban Republicans from
running for office. Once you get all Democrats in office, all your
problems will get fixed in a statistically significant relatively
short passage of time.

But meanwhile, who signs absence excuse slips?

Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.
