SCOTUS rejected the lawsuit from Texas, filed against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, for alleged constitutional violations, which included the illegal altering of election laws, mostly regarding mail-in voting, that allowed alleged mass voter fraud to take place.
The lawsuit was rejected due to a “lack of standing under Article III of the Constituion, with a brief order arguing that “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.” Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing that SCOTUS does not have the authority to turn down lawsuits between states.
In a statement, Texas GOP Chair Allen West responded to the decision, and argued that in the tossing of the “constituionally legitimate and critical” lawsuit, SCOTUS has “decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law,” suggesting secession may be a solution:
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.
The @TexasGOP is out with a statement in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, all but calling for secession:

Secession? God bless Texas from a Mexifornian
G-d bless Texas.
With Big Tech relocating en masse to TX, how long will be it a law-abiding, pro-constitution state?
Well damnit, I guess I’ll have to move back to Texas then.
They won’t have the protection of a corrupt fedgov.
I would be happy to move to a red state if I thought we could form our own constitutional republic without fear of invasion from blue state vermin.
I am sick of parasites and lawlessness.
exactly
I like it!
Kick the tires and light the fires!!
What does one do when the SCOTUS blesses voter fraud?
Is it yet time foe the snipers?
Secede. I’ll move back to Texas!
Declaration of Independence: A Transcription!
In Congress, July 4, 1776:
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Definitely pack up and move to Texas.
I’m for restoring Nevada to a Red State and joining them. Won’t be hard to do when we roll up our sleeves.
“I would be happy to move to a red state if I thought we could form our own constitutional republic without fear of invasion from blue state vermin. I am sick of parasites and lawlessness.”
Yes, we will need a big, beautiful wall with 60 foot bollards and possibly no gates.
Secede. Then apply for foreign aid.
If Texas does succeed I bet it will start an flood of other free states doing the same and I hope Alabama would be one of the first to join Texas.
Bump
It’s the COMMIES who should secede. Gladly have them go. We get the archived Constitution and Declaration, the flag, etc.
