TX GOP To SCOTUS - FU

The @TexasGOP is out with a statement in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, all but calling for secession:
“Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.”

smells like sedition
So none of the three justices Trump put on the Supreme Court was willing to take Paxton’s bullshit Texas case which Trump said was the big one. That must burn Trump’s ass. Plus we made Alito and Thomas cry.

Please go. Take the rest of your low budget states with you.

We will use our wealth to help relocate political refugees to the USA.
Sorry you can’t have the name if you’re going.

Since the Red States are freeloading traitor-states. I'd just feel bad for any Democrats trapped in there. Speaking for those of us in Delaware, we'd welcome anyone who wanted to emigrate or seek asylum

working the trifecta of federal felonies..
Treason.
Sedition,
Insurrection....
It's unforgivable.
No traitors in Congress. After selling out they encouraged others to overthrow the govt, then tried to do it themselves.
They should be held to testify at a hearing as well, to explain why they shouldnt be prosecuted for all three of the above.
We aren't shitting around here. Serious shit.

If that somehow fails, Sarah Palin can volunteer to become President of the New State of Texas
