If I refuse to do my job, I get fired. If you don’t want to show up step down.
Keystone Cops-like
And increase in gas tax. Don't bury that one. That might be the largest part of it.
Fire them
Sounds like they quit their job. Fire em
Pot meet Wisconsin kettle
Too bad that doesn't happen when it's about abortion and women's health rights
They’ll find any reason to not show up for work.
Good.
♥️♥️♥️clime change is a lie!!! Human beings are the one destroying the planet.😥😥😥
Dock their pay. I don't get paid if I skip work.
Oregon Constitution Article IV, Sec 9 says legislators can't be arrested during a Leg. Session, and defines that in Sec. 10. So ordering the arrest of these legislators appears to be unconstitutional by the Governor.
So, elected people can refuse to work; and still keep their jobs and pay? And attempt to invoke violence by others? And not get arrested? Is this the future of our political system? Refuse to do cooperate, then intimidate the opposition. This should not be tolerated.
And nobody noticed as the republicans just say “no” to their elected position to support All constituents. dumpgop
Wow. What a bunch of dare I say snowflakes?
Sounds like a new episode of Portlandia.
Ok so then work should continue without them. They should forfeit their votes.
The littlest snowflakes.
Republicans have no problem disregarding rules, and even laws, when they are the majority. Hold the vote, mark those not in attendance as a null vote In Absentia and just pass it. They'll bitch about 'tyranny' and 'ramming it down the voters' throats' either way.
This is what the Oregon_GOP is all about. This is how the GOP governs. And it's why so many of us will NEVERvoteGOPagain.
Nice, you don't like the Bill's, stop doing your job. That sounds like the Republicans.
Obviously they do not believe in democracy or the US constitution. Some have threatned violence if anybody tried to bring them back. The Republicans are vile and anti-American. Don't care about following rules and laws anymore. Digusting.
Good for The Oregon Republicans. The Two bills you have referenced are terrible for Oregon business. Oregonians do not want them passed but outside rich special interest groups do. Tell the truth what it will do to businesses, NPR!
And let Republicans look bad. They are doing the rest of us a favor of who NOT to vote for in the next election.
They ripped a page from the donald trump book of childish behavior. They should lose their jobs and have to work for a living.
It seems to be the Republican trend. Don’t want to vote? Don’t show up. Get a subpoena? Don’t show up. Doesn’t seem to be any consequences.
Hey if they don't show up for work don't pay him.
This. Is. CRAZY. The GOP is run by thugs.
This is pathetic. The Repub reps should be so ashamed. Do your jobs!
It’s understood that they’re not getting their way. This trend of choosing to abandon the post, which is happening at the US senate too, must not be allowed to continue. Dereliction of duty should be an offense.
Shame on each Republican. There’s a reason there are so few GOP. The citizens of Oregon don’t want what you stand for. The U.S. Constitution holds you in contempt.
Paid leave?
If I refused to show up to work, because I didn't want to do my job, I wouldn't have one. Why are elected officials special?
Snowflakes
fuckers
Preview of much worse to come. GOP doesn’t care about Republic or constitution, only power.
SRCC Oregon: suspend their salary while they are out of state!
The Oregon voters should decide this, since it is in effect, a tax increase.
Sounds like Wisconsin legislators
Remove them from office for refusing to show up to work. The majority of this country would be fired if we didnt show up for 2 days to work.
This has been done before, in Oregon and other states (Texas). And the Oregon constitution does permit the govt to “compel” attendance for a quorum. Figuring out what that means is the interesting part.
The Democratic Taxperson Cometh. We’ve had a revolution over taxes, just saying. It’s 1776 all over again.
So Oregon Republicans decided to rile up their base with the threat of heavily armed citizens at the capital and used a bogus photo to encourage it?
Stop paying them.
Sounds like job abandonment to me. Hold new elections to replace them immediately.
the oregon GOPers are a bunch of bums and cowards. Getting paid to NOT show up at work. They have the ability to vote one of two ways and by not voting, anyone running against them cannot reference their voting record. I hope oregon voters remember this in 2020.
Caution: Children at play
Why are these ppl such trash? Get rid of them. They’ve abandoned their posts- start the process to hold new elections.
Just another example of Republicans refusing to play by the rules. They know they can't win on merit or demographics, so they cheat and break the law to stay in power. And Democrats keep treating them like moral actors. Democrats must innovate and fight like hell.
I wonder if I can do the same tomorrow and not show up to work? 🤔
Vote them out
This is today’s Republican Party. Lawless, lazy, and liars.
Hey republicans, it completely OK to believe in settled science. Give it a try.
How can they not believe in climate change with all the snowflakes they see?
Can we fire them for dereliction of duty?
