Kicking & Screaming
Learned about this one via Jack Bog's Blog. Two Oregon legislators (one Republican, one Democrat) are refusing to resign despite moving out of the districts they serve, in total violation of the Oregon state constitution. Best of all neither the Republican or the Democratic parties have a problem with this.
Jim Edmunson, the state Democratic Party chairman, doesn't plan to challenge Kruse's violation in court. He said, "Obviously the rule of law applies to all, and so it really wouldn't be fair to complain about a Republican violating the constitution if we didn't hold ourselves to the same standard."
Spokeswoman Dawn Phillips said the state Republican Party will stay out of the matter.
"We weren't going to weigh in on Kruse," she said, "and we're not going to comment on Deborah." - Oregonian
Excuse me while I lose my lunch. These fucks need to march their butts right out of office, today. And people wonder why people are so disgusted with the political process these days.
