No. Loaded title here. VOTERS banned them via constitutional amendment. Amendment was if anyone has 10 or more unexcused absences they are banned from reelection. Courts just decided against the R's lawsuit against the amendment.

And.. just to point out if you didn't watch the video.. the senators who appealed this decision missed out on 6 full WEEKS of attendance just so they could stall the passage of legislation they knew would pass, but didn't like.

And the passage of this rule was BEFORE they took this leave of absence, so. Sorry guys.

Voter initiated constitutional amendment is such a godsend. Genuinely one of the good political things I see happening in America
