The nine justices of the United States Supreme Court declined to hear the lawsuit that the Texas State Attorney General filed.
The reaction to this has been swift, and quite honestly, not entirely expected by yours truly. I thought that conservatives, having failed at their last, desperate effort, might finally give in.
I was so very wrong about that.
Yesterday, Texas Republican Chairman Allen West released the following statement:
“The Supreme Court, in tossing the Texas lawsuit that was joined by seventeen states and 106 US congressman, has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law. Resulting in damaging effects on other states that abide by the law, while the guilty state suffers no consequences. This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the US constitution and not be held accountable. This decision will have far-reaching ramifications for the future of our constitutional republic. Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”
And there, dear reader, you have it. The first, but not, I fear, the last call for secession by Republican controlled states.
