[Mercat]

In its constitution, Texas has the right to cut itself into, I think, 4 states. That however, was prior to the Civil War. Succession and the end of the Civil War may have changed that and it will never happen anyway.

Five states, an increase of four. Presumably an increase of sane Senators by eight. (Okay, call it... a gain of six to allow for one Dem to slip in, increasing their count by one.)

You Texans won't mind if I come visit your message board for awhile, will you?
