Republican Oregon state senators, banished from running for reelection after voters fed up with their constant walkouts and bullshit over the last few years to block legislation approved a measure kicking them off the ballot if they have 10 or more unexcused absences, the AP reports.
Senators Dennis Linthicum, Brian Boquist and Cedric Hayden – all three of them facing the axe for fucking off for over 10 days – argued that their quorum games were an expression of free speech that they can’t be punished for, even though in the real world if you skip work for 10 days with the express intent of not doing your job you get fired for it. And that’s totally constitutional.
