This retribution campaign has proven sweeping and egregious, targeting everyone from law firms that cross him to the highest levels of the Democratic Party» #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #USRepublicans

In Oregon, Republicans in the state legislature like to stop laws that they don't like by walking out, sometimes for as long as 6 weeks. Republicans say their walkouts are protected free speech. No courts have agreed, however.
