LINK Texas GOP chair calls for SECESSION after SCOTUS rules against Trump

WTMF? I guess most of them don't know that the constitution was meant to be secular. Free of religion so yeah, secede and go back to lawlessness. They just can't let go. What's next on their agenda?

He is a treasonous reactionary in the mold of John C Calhoun of South Carolina who led the drive causing the Civil War in 1861.

Oh my lack of god.

Article 2, Section 1: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector." You can't get much more constitutional than that.

Nowhere in there does it grant any other state the least bit of say in how any other state's legislature chooses to hold their elections. SCOTUS ruled precisely the way they should have. No other state has standing to sue on how my state holds an election. It does no conceivable harm to any other state if we have at-will absentee voting (why not name Nevada, which has had statewide absentee voting for years?). It does no harm if we have poll watchers standing 12 feet or 6 feet or 30 feet from the counting. The harebrain conspiracy theories being peddled by the Trump campaign mean nothing in court.

Or, alternately, why not let the blue states sue for every other state to allow at-will absentee voting? It devalues our votes if Democrats in other states are willfully suppressed, as they were in Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, basically every state with a Republican legislature. This "legal" theory opens a huge can of worms. And there's no way to get worms back in the can. Kudos to the court for slamming the lid down on it.

2020 will be remembered not only as the year of the pandemic, but the year of the sore losers.
