(Salem, OR) -- Lack of a quorum has forced the Oregon Senate to shutdown early for the 14th day in a row. A group of ten Republican and Independent senators stayed away from the chamber preventing the Senate from taking any action. They say it's a protest against Democrat backed bills for reproductive health care, gun control and bills that aren't written in a simple to understand manner. The ten senators have exceeded their limit on unexcused absences and won't be allowed to run for re-election. They plan to challenge that new law in court.
