Republican walk out of legislature, refuse to vote on Marxist bill. Communist governor orders state troopers to arrest them and bring them in.

Oregon – on verge of violence, civil war.

Republicans tell Dems to “come heavily armed as we won’t be taken political prisoners in our own state.”

Gov. Kate Brown authorized the Oregon State Police to bring Republican senators back to the Capitol building Thursday after all 11 members fled Salem to deny Democrats the opportunity to pass a sweeping greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill.

Note to self. You have seen the left coast in better days. Don’t go back

Trying to stay outta the political stuff these days, but this tactic isn't just used by communists and socialists... Fleeing the state to deny the ruling party a quorum has a long history, as well as sending the police after the fleeing politicians.

Ditto on your first sentence. I seem to remember many being ok with sending out the Troopers after the Wisconsin Democrat lawmakers a few years back.

We could start a Go-Fund-Me and send them on a nice cruise in the Med. 

I'd kick in.

Quorum Busting and/or Disappearing Quorum have both been used many times in history...

Could be interesting as some of these congress men have left the state.  State Police, I believe, don't have jurisdiction outside of state.

They also stopped a few more bills from going thru earlier in the year on gun control by this method. 

I plus a lot of other folks in the state are all for them staying away for a while.  The Cap/Trade bill is a but a crap.   Won't solve anything and will raise prices a bunch.

I want to see the state legislators put this bill up for a vote.

I meant a sanctuary for conservatives.

Sounds like some of them are in Idaho.   

What is funny is our dear Governor was in the congress back a few years ago.  She plus members of the dem party did a walkout.   Now she has forgotten what she did and call foul.  Typical   

[Rams]

Maybe I missed something but, what I read was the Governor had authorized the State Police to bring the Republicans back, it does not say arrest.   I'm not sure what the technical difference is but, arrest is not a word used in the articles I have read.   This may be a technicality but, I can't see anyone getting arrested or a governor ordering such an arrest.   What law has been broken?

Yeah, I've been wrong once before.

Being arrested is being deprived of your freedom to leave.  This sounds like what the governor intends.
It may well be legal, I don't know.

Having been arrested (if any are), it doesn't seem the senators would be charged with any offense, which is usually why someone is arrested. (Is abandoning a senate quorum a criminal offense?)

Once arrested, speedy trial rights begin, and the state would have to take some action or the arrestees would be entitled to immediate release (with no pending charges).

One would think the Oregon State Police would have little interest in taking part in this political melodrama, as they have more important things to do.  This hardly warrants the efforts of say.... hunting down the DC beltway snipers. 

Maybe the Marxist Senators should recess the Senate and go hunting them down themselves.

I want to see the film at 11 on that one.

Agreed.
I have been stopped,detained and held in custody once pending a potential arrest but was released once they realized what an angelic life I have led.    

It seems the rental car I had didn't have the right plates on it, the plates belonged to another rental car but, the LEO cuffed me and held me on the side of the freeway for about an hour while they determined what was going on.

I've been held in place on the side of the road while they figured things out, for a half hour or so.  I also had the wrong plates on my bike (but they belonged on another bike I owned which was registered, taxed, inspected, and insured).  The confusion started when the officer came back from his car scratching his head looking at my Interstate and asked..... is that a Kawasaki?  I immediately knew what had happened.  They're always jumping to the conclusion that it is stolen (though I suppose sometimes it is).

I was not cuffed (that would have pissed me off).

I was polite and cooperative, but I still got one ticket (but it could have been 3, so it was a good deal).
