Ten state senators who participated in a Republican-led walkout during last year's legislative session will be barred from reelection beginning this year, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled Thursday morning.

In a unanimous decision, the court rejected an argument from five Republican lawmakers who contended in court filings that the plain language of Measure 113 should allow them to serve one more term, despite their decision to boycott more than 10 legislative floor sessions last year.

Sure isn't a democracy when one party tells the other party who can run.

No but, when we as a people, stand by and allow it to happen, there really are no surprises!

Kind of like people running for president but get removed from the ballot?

The ballot box has failed.

You can no longer vote in representatives that will vote with their feet to deny quorum.

What box is next? Soap box? Too late for that one.

Next is the ammo and then jury box.
