Americans see Oregonians passing laws on how they want their politicians. Partisan hacks see it as anti-Republican because they're too blind to realize that: 1) This law applies to everyone in the state, not just Republicans; and 2) the Republican party can run other candidates for those same seats. The GOP hasn't been taken off of ballots.
But this type of response is not surprising when it comes from people who also support the idea of an exiting President trying to prevent the smooth exchange of power just because he lost.
However, I always try to entertain the possibility that there's an intelligent idea somewhere out there, so here's the question:
Why can't the people of Oregon pass a law preventing lawmakers, who walk out of office thus impeding the ability of the legislature from voting on bills, from returning to office via re-election?
