Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) authorized the state police to bring Republican lawmakers back to Salem after several left the state to avoid a vote on a climate bill.

Oregon state Sen. Brian Boquist (R) on Wednesday appeared to threaten violence if state police were sent to return Republicans to Salem.
“This is what I told the superintendent,” Boquist said, referring to Oregon State Police Superintendent Travis Hampton. “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”
I think I like the cut of his jib.

No, you would not like the cut of his jib. Boquist is an authoritarian, he just happens to be a Republican authoritarian in a leftist state.

Why run away to another state, instead of simply voting “No” (I assume, “Hell, No” is not one of the choices)?
Yeah I get the theatrical flourish of “running away,” but, is the real reason they ran away that they don’t want to go on-record as apostates from the Holy Church of Climatology?

@billrla,
No. He and other GOP’ers left because to have stayed would have given them a quorum thus allowing the vote to proceed and ensuring passage of the abomination.

It seems to me that they governor might consider doubling or tripling her armed guards, of course I could be wrong.

I worked with Brian at Evergreen – while what the Governor has ordered is technically legal, Brian’s response is honest and appropriate. The I5 corridor Portland-Salem-Eugene has run roughshod over the rest of the state and eventually push will come to shove

It is great to see a (R) who has grown a sack.
