Indeed. The problem is they seem to be even more immature then ever.

It's also legally required to do so during discovery process.

For the defense?

I believe that is called disclosure and is legally required otherwise their could be mistrial.

Quite honestly. Fuck democracy. Democracy is a tool to ensure freedom. Where it fails to do such it should obviously be held to account.

That's why we have these legal tricks built into our government.

Democracy is freedom and liberty and should never be fucked.

Climate bills do not stop freedom.

Because in Oregon, voting for them is losing. By not showing up and grinding things to a halt, the bill doesn’t pass.

The governor could alternatively send the police after them and forcibly bring them back to the floor. But that would turn them into “martyrs” to the constituents they claim to represent.

I see but it still looks childish and downright foolish to do that.


Democracy is freedom?

Sure is buddy. Just look at all those slavers that were democratically elected by other slavers before we took away their right to vote and burned their states down.

Democracy is the most free of unfree options.

Just vote no. Why not simply refuse to show up at all and protect their constituents from evil city folk?

Because by showing up they will lose.

So why not refuse to show up for the entire session?

Honestly, fuck it'

the democrats, like in Virginia' clearly don't give two shits about democracy/actual fair representation, so why should the local GOP?

They just pander to inner city poor and overwhelm the votes in the capitals/cities then become single-party dictatorships to the rest of a state

we see this in California, Oregon, and Washington State

hearing democrats crying about "There not doing there jobs" is also fucking hilarious and hypocritical

Oregon isn't Portland, Seattle isn't Washington and SF/LA are not California, it's the same bullshit and people are not having there interests represented or there voices heard.
