The Right To Shirk (aka, the Cowardice of Their Convictions) 0

At the Idaho State Journal, Mike Murphy comments on the stunt that Oregon (Oregone?) Republican senators pulled–fleeing the state capital while the legislature was in session to avoid voting on a bill they disliked. A snippet:

For the second time during the current legislative session, all 11 Republican senators walked out on the job and went into hiding. Their goal: To kill a bill that would cap carbon emissions, a bill fiercely opposed by industry lobbyists, including the Oregon Manufacturers and Commerce group.

Such a strategy is apparently some sort of new twist on democracy in which politicians promise during their election campaigns to represent the people’s wishes, then once in office do whatever they darn well please, or, as in this case, whatever non-renewable energy lobbyists coax them to do — voters be damned.
