Rules for me but not for thee. That is our courts. Storm and interrupt Supreme Court or other legislative action - first amendment but any other action is insurrection.

Burn/storm the whitehouse is just first amendment BLM, but ….

Our two tiered court system will be a major issue down the road. Or not.

Hmmmm....there are a BUNCH of Democrats in Texas who did exactly the same thing. I wonder if the set precedent would apply in Texas.

With a state constitutional amendment like Oregon, sure. Maybe same in DC?

Reporting is so terrible these days. Most of the article says they can’t run for re-election because they walked out (a new law). But the court said it was because of the older law about having more than 10 unexcused absences.

So which was it? Did they have more than 10 unexcused absences, or because they staged a walk-out? Or perhaps the walk-out was their 11th absence.

Due to the State Constitution allowing citizen initiative and referendum, an organization related to women’s health is circulating petitions in the State of SD to have on the next general election ballot, unrestricted abortion, as an amendment to the State Constitution. Thus cementing in law the “right” to kill your offspring right up to birth and maybe even after.

My only utterance should this pass would be “Good God Almighty”. “We the People” have to share in this blood lust that cannot lead anywhere but our destruction by a righteous God.

Robert "Beto" O'Rourke paid the expenses of those Texas Democrats to fly to DC and stay in a fancy hotel. There are laws in the Texas Constitution that taking money or things of value to alter one's vote is considered bribery.

Nobody pursued expelling those Democrats and they were welcomed back.

It sounds like the courts ruled to remove the Republicans because they walked out BEFORE there was a rule against walking out. I can’t remember what that’s called but it’s illegal.

An ex post facto law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law.

Oregon passed a state constitutional amendment in 2022 prohibiting more than ten unexcused absences from legislative sessions. These Senators knowingly violated the new law.

Seems pretty stupid to flagrantly do that.

I wonder if any other states have such an article in their constitutions.

As I saw on Quora, a teen said what I'm thinking. He wrote to a reply about banning guns for the safety of the CHILDREN: 'You Democrats make me sick, because you are hypocritical. You want gun control for the children, yet you killed more children in you murderous PLANNED HOMICIDE places. Trump is a threat to Democracy, no you are!'

I agree with him Dems are the threat to Democracy, or really this REPUBLIC.

So, the solution is to shoot the judge. He forfeited being by making the ruling

I could be wrong, but I think the law was already in place when the legislators did their walkout.

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3:

“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”

Seems pretty clear.

“An ex post facto law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law.”

Thank you. IIRC, they did the same thing to Trump when the NYS legislature passed a law changing the statute of limitations for rape allegations so they could charge him for the Jean Carroll case.

The Dems pushed through a petition and ballot measure to make it a law to lose your job if you walk out more than 10 days.

The eastern half of the State really needs to become part of Western Idaho. They have nothing in common with the woketard bolsheviks who inhabit the Portland - Eugene corridor. This is just more validation that the state lines need to be re-drawn.
