Oregon Supreme Court Blocks Re-election Bids of GOP Senators Who Walked Out
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fox News
The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that 10 Republican state senators who participated in a lengthy boycott last summer to block bills extending access to abortion for minors, transgender procedures, and medical intervention, as well as a measure on ghost guns, cannot seek re-election this year. The ruling upholds a measure aimed at stopping such boycotts, and the GOP senators are barred from running for re-election despite their claims that the amendment allowed them to seek another term. The boycott, which lasted six weeks, ended after Democrats made concessions on abortion-related legislation.
