Texas GOP chairman suggests ‘Constitution-abiding states should form a UNION’ after SCOTUS tosses election suit.

The Texas Republican Party chairman has blasted the Supreme Court for establishing a “precedent that says states can violate the US Constitution and not be held accountable,” and proposed a new “union of law-abiding states.”

State GOP chair Allen West floated the idea on Friday following a decision by the nation’s highest court to throw out a lawsuit brought by the Texas attorney general, which alleged that mail-in voting measures introduced in a number of states before the 2020 race were unconstitutional.

“The Supreme Court… has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law,” West said of the ruling, noting that the lawsuit was “joined by seventeen states and 106 US congressman."

"This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the US constitution and not be held accountable... Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution."

Brought by Texas AG Ken Paxton, the suit looked to bar four key battleground states – Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – from casting their electoral votes, asking the court to shift the selection of new electors to the state legislatures. Seven out of nine justices ruled to dismiss the case on Friday, however, stating that Paxton had not “demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.” Though Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas issued a dissenting opinion, they, too, said they would not have granted relief to the case, only suggesting that the court hear the complaint.

In Texas v. White (1869), the Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the states could lead to a successful secession.

Useless GOP bastards. They will die in severe pains

Jobia:
Trump has finally succeeded in dividing the country

Jeromejnr:


The Democrats did, not Trump. Right from the slave days.

I guess you just learnt now that they were responsible for slave trade and KKK.

Now they use Media and big tech to spread misinformations and cause unnecessary divisions when Trump had been calling for them to work together since he entered office.

Now even a democratic representative is calling on her liberal soldiers to make war on Republicans. I thought they claimed Biden won, why are they still looting stores?
Why are the Republicans more peaceful?

Stay off the CNN drug.

Besides, this suit filed by Texas was not on Trump winning but on Pennsylvania breaking the constitution. Why should Texas who are trying to protect the constitution keep being united with those who do not care anymore about the Constitution?

Texas and her rebellious act!

Rebelled against Mexico to become a republic of her own and seceded. Eventually joining the United States afterwards.
Not long again rebelled against the US with other 10 states to secede from the union as Confederate states.

She has started again
