Does this sound like a canard?

Who else is for increasing the number of Texas Senators by 8 as well as 8 more Texas members of electoral college?

I dislike this notion-—unless we are an independent nation. Then division into several smaller states becomes a practical matter of governing more efficiently (and perhaps for helping solve the Cowboys problem). But, five separate states of Texas just to get a little more influence in the federal debacle...I don’t think so.

With all due respect to a recent law school graduate and a yankee professor I've never met a serious person who doesn't think that the formal re-admittance of Texas after the civil war rendered any agreement before that moot.

Yeah, just what we need, more senators.
