- Texas GOP Chairman Suggests ‘Constitution-Abiding States Should Form a UNION’ After SCOTUS Tosses Election Suit
by https://www.rt.com/
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 17 states and 106 US congressmen.”
–
“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.”
