Texas GOP Chairman Allen West Floats Secession in Reaction to SCOTUS Shooting Down Election Suit

Allen West was disgusted by the decision by SCOTUS not to take the Texas case over obvious voter fraud. So angry that he floated the idea of Texas seceding from the United States. It is an idea worth looking at but not alone. The entire South and the Midwest would be much more advantageous There are a lot of problems Texans would have even if they managed to secede

All military bases would have to close. and Texas has a lot of companies that do a lot of business with the Defense Department. They would have to move out of Texas. And what about Social Security?

People who are already collecting it can continue and those who already have enough time in will be able to collect unless Democrats change the law, but no one who would not already have their time in would not get Social Security.

West, a former Florida congressman, issued a statement, saying:

“The Supreme Court, in tossing the Texas lawsuit that was joined by seventeen states and 106 US congressman (sic), have 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 or our constitutional republic. Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”

Arkansas GOP Rep. Bruce Westerman said:

“Although there are other election lawsuits in courts around the country, I believe the Texas attorney general’s case was the best and likely last opportunity for SCOTUS to hear claims of fraudulent voting that could have had an impact on the presidential election results…SCOTUS rejected the case, and I believe closed the books on challenges to the 2020 election results.”

“The only milestone left in completing the election process will be Congress counting the votes on January 6. The casting of electoral votes will end a hotly contested election, and we should come together as Americans to work together for the future of our country.”
