The head of the Texas Republican Party floated the threat of seceding from the U.S. in a tantrum over the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to bounce a baseless Texas election lawsuit.
On Friday, the court rejected Texas’ attempt to challenge votes from the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that voted for President-elect Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump.
Texas GOP Chair Allen West said in a statement following the news that “perhaps” it’s time for “law-abiding states to bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”

He was in response to that line in the article.
You need to understand.
That is another way to deal with it, but at least take a good serious shot cross their bows with this first.
Stand back and see if they take notice.
It would not be awesome.
Nullification would be a good start to get their attention.
Dem run states ignore federal immigration laws, so why not Repub states ignore gun bans issued by no nothing dims in DC?
I’m in... let’s divide the country.
White liberal ‘elites’ and their pet victim groups can live in one country... and we’ll live in the other.
Both sides get to elect the people they want and create their own laws. Liberal world can confiscate guns on day one... and make abortion legal up to 3 days AFTER birth - (in case the kid is ugly) They can open their country to every third world hellhole and offer free medical care to ALL
And us? We’ll live in a country based on our original constitution...
IIRC, the Act adding Texas as a state gives them the right to do so.
I’ve been listening to NewsmaxTV and War Room all morning.
Does anyone else think the reason that judges want to cover this up is that they are scared?
Sure they might be compromised or whatnot but look at what is happening to the whistleblowers. Rewatch the BLM/Antifa ‘peaceful rallies’ this summer.
I think most judges signed up to have a nice lower elite class life, not to have their lives and the lives of their extended families at risk.
Does anyone else think this might be an issue?
Texas also has their own electrical grid. I think it is the only state that does.
We need to be a one party nation, under God. Term limits for every office. If can’t be filled it remains empty until it can.
It’s the same problem conservative churches have. Maintaining freedom while living by Gods Word.
Only when Jesus returns to earth will it be perfect. I think a lot of Christians will be surprised at how life will be then. People will be free but required to
follow the rules. In other words, as always, true peace and happiness is only found in Christ.
The big problem in Texas is that the Texas GOP is largely bought and paid for by big business: remember the "gay marriage" debacle, where nascent resistance to Obergefell was quashed almost immediately by big business pressure on the Texas GOP, who almost wet themselves in fear and practically tripped over themselves in their haste to accept "gay" marriage.
I now live in Texas....I’ll vote for it!
What they are afraid of is having to recognize that the political system and system of law in which they have so much invested has been broken by massive, in-your-face fraud. They can't accept the premise of the case that such a massive subversion of the system is possible, that the apparently nice, collegial elite club they thought they joined is a viper's nest of corruption and illegality.
To accept the premise to impugn their own vanity, their own understanding of the system of which they consider themselves to be a vital part.
The disagreement is indeed between states. It’s wise to avoid allowing our opposition to complicate things for us. In other words, “keep it simple,...”
Your opinion is the one being expressed. Basically, they are idiots.
I think they are SMART and they realize what the left is capable of.
And really it is no more of a conspiracy or complicated than that they fear for their safety.
It’s not where to move in Texas. You should be worried about where NOT to move in Texas: El Paso (aka Elp ashole), Houston, Austin, Brownsville are places to avoid.
Absolute crazy talk.
Open up a 10 mile by 10 mile section in the prairie and forbid people from living in that region.
Secession is good idea and no food is not weapon. This secession will be peaceful.
“Researching where to move in Texas. “
Come to Alabama.

I think that several states have already seceded. But i a not referring to Texas.
On top of that i would say that a number of states have allowed and assisted CITIES within the state to secede.
It is a “different” way of describing the situation.
But I think it has merit.
