"Oregon Supreme Court Ruling Bars 10 GOP Senators from Seeking Reelection After Walkout"

The Oregon Supreme Court's ruling barring 10 state senators who boycotted the Legislature last spring from seeking reelection will lead to significant turnover in the Oregon Senate and could discourage future walkouts by the minority party. While some believe the ruling will deter walkouts, others argue it may not serve as a deterrent and could even lead to a culture of walkouts every election cycle. The ruling's impact on the upcoming legislative session remains uncertain, but it could give barred Republicans greater power. Additionally, the ruling will affect the 2024 election, as a third of the Senate will be barred from seeking reelection over the next two cycles, potentially leading to contested races and a shakeup within the Republican party.

Oregon Supreme Court Bars GOP Senators from Reelection After Walkouts

The Oregon Supreme Court ruled that most Republican state senators who repeatedly boycotted legislative sessions last year are prohibited from running for re-election, in accordance with a voter-approved initiative to ban lawmaker walkouts. The walkouts were used to stall bills on climate policy, taxes, abortion, and other issues. The court's decision means that 10 lawmakers, including the Senate minority leader, will be barred from the ballot this year or in 2026, prompting mixed reactions among the senators and the secretary of state.

Oregon Supreme Court Bars GOP Lawmakers from Reelection After Walkout

The Oregon Supreme Court upheld the secretary of state’s decision to disqualify 10 Republican state senators, who staged a record-long walkout last year, from running for re-election under a voter-approved measure aimed at stopping such boycotts. The walkout lasted six weeks and paralyzed the legislative session, stalling hundreds of bills. The senators had sued over the decision, arguing over the interpretation of the language in the voter-approved measure, but the court ruled against them, citing the measure's intent to bar lawmakers from seeking re-election if they have more than 10 unexcused absences.

The decision, based on Measure 113, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from reelection if they have more than 10 unexcused absences.

Oregon Supreme Court Bars 10 GOP Senators from Seeking Reelection

The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that nine Senate Republicans who participated in a 2023 walkout, protesting a bill protecting abortion rights and gender-affirming health care, will be unable to run for office again due to Measure 113, which disqualifies legislators with 10 or more unexcused absences from holding office immediately following the current term. The Court upheld the Secretary of State's interpretation, stating that voters were informed of the disqualification in the ballot measure history, and concluded that the disqualification applies to the term immediately following the one in which the absences were accrued.

Oregon Supreme Court Delays Decision on Removing Trump from Ballot

The Oregon Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging Donald Trump's eligibility to appear on the state's ballot, citing a lack of authority at the primary stage, but left the door open for future petitions pending a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the 14th Amendment issue.

Oregon Supreme Court Delays Decision on Removing Trump from Primary Ballot

The Oregon Supreme Court has decided to allow former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's 2024 primary election ballot, deferring a decision on his eligibility until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a similar challenge from Colorado. Challengers in over 30 states have filed lawsuits claiming Trump is ineligible under the 14th Amendment due to his alleged involvement in the insurrection. The lawsuits vary in legal strategy, and the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in the appeal of the Colorado case on Feb. 8. Oregon's presidential primary ballots must be finalized by March 21, and the court's decision leaves the door open for further legal action depending on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.

"Oregon Supreme Court Delays Decision on Trump's Ballot Eligibility Challenge"

The Oregon Supreme Court has declined to review a challenge from five voters seeking to keep former President Donald Trump off the state's 2024 Republican primary and general election ballots, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to take up the issue of Trump's eligibility. The legal battle over Trump's eligibility stems from the Constitution's insurrection clause, and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision could have nationwide implications for Trump's appearance on the ballot in all states. While some state supreme courts have allowed Trump to be listed on their primary ballots, the issue remains pending in other states.

"Oregon Supreme Court Delays Decision on Trump Ballot Challenge, Awaits SCOTUS Ruling"

The Oregon Supreme Court declined to hear a bid to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot based on the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban," citing the ongoing litigation at the US Supreme Court. Lawsuits across the country have been filed by Trump critics who argue that the ban disqualifies him from holding future office due to his alleged role in the January 6 insurrection. Oregon election officials say the primary ballot names must be finalized by March 21, but the impact of potentially removing Trump from the primary ballot may be limited as Oregon's GOP contest is one of the final ones and the nomination race may be decided by then.

Oregon Supreme Court to Clarify Meaning of Anti-Walkout Measure in Landmark Case

The Oregon Supreme Court is set to determine whether Republican state senators who walked out of this year's session will be barred from running for re-election. The issue revolves around the interpretation of 13 words in Measure 113, a 2022 measure that penalizes legislative walkouts. The GOP senators argue that the language allows them to serve another term before facing penalties, while the Oregon Department of Justice proposes a different interpretation featuring invisible commas. The court's ruling will impact the composition of the Senate for the 2025 legislative session.
