Texas Republican Chairman Threatens Secession After Losing At Supreme Court

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
