“...reaping the voter’s consequences.”
The republican senators wanted to put the Cap & Trade bill to the voters and the democrats said no.
Bear in mind that Oregon voters are dumb asses.

My brother-in-law who lives in Oregon is a flaming Marxists along with being Harvard educated Undergrad and Grad (STEM field btw) and he has the right to be represented by his democrats Reps along with Repubs who took the oath.

The voters can elect more Republicans in the next State elections to secure enough votes so that an Amendment can be placed on the ballot where the voters can decide if they want a direct vote on Cap & Trade.

Until then, Repubs or other political factions are SOL unless they pick up a gun and fight. Founders did that instead of going into the fetal position.

bear in mind that except for the Portland sect and other college towns, the whole of Oregone is red, conservative....
