Texas GOP Chairman Allen West said the Supreme Court's order had established "a precedent that says states can violate the U.S. Constitution and not be held accountable."

5. Allen West: "We have a Supreme Court that rules against the law"

Be wary of people like Allen West and their interpretations

Texas GOP Chairman Allen West speaks at a Friday news conference in Georgetown.

Highlights from my Friday Q&A with Texas GOP Chairman Allen West at a news conference convened in conjunction with this weekend’s meeting of the State Republican Executive Committee:

....

Me: “Will you respect the actions of our president?”

West: “I will respect the Constitution, sir.”

Me: “So you might not respect the actions of a duly sworn-in president of the United States?”

West: “If it is in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America, you have my answer.”

Me: “Under your definition of it or under the courts’?

West (pulling out a pocket Constitution): “It’s under the definition of what it says right here. The thing that I carry.”

Me: “Your interpretation of it?”

West: “It’s not my interpretation of it. If we have a Supreme Court that rules against the law, then I think we have greater problems than who am I choosing to support.”

Interesting. Later Friday, after the U.S. Supreme Court jettisoned Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's ludicrous lawsuit challenging election results in four other states, West reacted as I feared he would, including this: "Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the Constitution."

7. Name calling. Mature. You think of that all by yourself?

I get that the SC sided with Democracy. YES that is a good thing. But the whole point of the post was WHO mentioned it.

Why is the Texas GOP Chairman excited about it?

Does he think Texas got away with something?

I was just wondering if this was a deeper issue than Yeah for Democracy.

13. He's an infamous violent asshole

West was deployed to Kuwait in 1991 and Iraq in 2003. In 2003, West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi policeman, with West firing a gun near the Iraqi man's head during an interrogation. After an Article 32 hearing was held, West accepted non-judicial punishment, was fined $5,000, and allowed to retire as a lieutenant colonel.[3][4] After leaving the military, West moved to Florida, where he taught at a high school for a year and worked for a defense contractor, part of this time spent in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to the Afghan National Army.
...
West ran for the chairmanship of the Republican Party of Texas in 2020. West became the new state chairman after he defeated the incumbent chairman, James Dickey, on July 20, 2020.[9] Widely described as a "firebrand conservative", West has been criticized for comments about Islam, descriptions of President Barack Obama as a "low-level Socialist agitator", and unfounded accusations that 81 Democratic members of Congress were members of the Communist Party.[4][10][11]
