9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns retaliation ruling against Oregon Senator Brian Boquist.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a previous ruling that awarded Oregon Senator Brian Boquist $1 in damages and $375,000 in attorney fees. Boquist claimed retaliation for comments perceived as threats during a 2019 standoff. The court found his case moot, as the Senate's notice requirement is no longer enforced. The judges ruled he did not prove Senate leaders violated established law, leaving open the possibility of an appeal.
