In a statement, the governor said she is “prepared to use all resources and tools available to me as governor to ensure that Oregonians are being served by their leaders.” State police have now been deployed to find the Republican lawmakers and bring them back to the legislature, as they are authorized to do under state law.

Republican state Sen. Brian Boquist responded by warning that law enforcement should “send bachelors and come heavily armed,” adding that “I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.” The lawmaker later doubled down, saying his threat wasn’t “thinly veiled” and reiterating he is “not going to be arrested as a political prisoner in Oregon period.”

On June 20, one day after Boquist made his threat, the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, the NRA’s lobbying arm, put out a press release applauding Oregon Senate Republicans and urging its members to “thank them for fighting hard … and encourage them to stand strong.” Boquist was listed among Republican senators the NRA-ILA asked its supporters to contact and thank.

1. He won't be a political prisoner

But he is a criminal for inciting violence against law enforcement, and should go to prison for it.

3. Anti-Trumpism

Their seats should be declared vacant after the third attempt to open the proceedings. Then, the governor should appoint their open seats. It's not their law and may not be right, neither is running away from duties.

7. Don't these Legislators get paid?

Along with declaring their Seats vacant after attempting to contact, have State Police escort them back to State Capitol to conduct State Business, Oregon Governor should be able to fill those vacant seats. Should be some sort of clause about this in Oregon State Constitution.

Alone with above, don't pay these bast**ds! If I didn't show up for work, I didn't get paid!

8. It sounds like he won't be taken alive.

We should all support this strategy.

It would save this group a lot of time and trouble if they would just get penis enlargement surgery. No phallic guns required.
