On Friday afternoon, Dec. 11, the U.S. Federal Supreme Court dismissed Texas’ petition charging four swing states with unconstitutionality in the 2020 election. In response, the Texas Republican Party issued an emergency statement condemning the high court for condoning the swing states’ disregard for the Constitution, while calling on all Constitution-abiding states to unite and form a Constitution-abiding coalition.
The following is a full translation of Texas Republican Party Chairman Allen West’s statement in response to the high court’s decision.
In response to a joint lawsuit by 17 states and 106 members of Congress and the State of Texas, the Supreme Court ruled that states in the United States can act unconstitutionally and in violation of their own state election laws. This has had a devastating effect on other states that have complied with the law. It leaves the guilty states free from any consequences. This decision by the high court sets a precedent that states in the United States can be held immune from liability for violating the U.S. Constitution. This High Court decision will have a profound impact on the future of our constitutional republic. Perhaps the law-abiding states should band together and form a coalition to abide by the Constitution.
Even if other states fail to do so, the Republican Party of Texas will always uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.
On Friday afternoon, the federal Supreme Court voted 7-2 to dismiss Texas’ case against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin for being unconstitutional in the general election. Of the nine justices on the high court, the only justices who favored taking the case were Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Alito and Thomas issued a statement after the high court announced its decision to dismiss, saying they could only reserve the plaintiffs’ right to file a complaint and expressed no opinion on any other issue in the case.
