I propose California be divided into somewhere between 5 and 70 states. 2 of which would be Democratic (LA and SF) and the rest Republican. It’s only fair since a state like Wyoming with barely 500,000 people gets two senators and a congresscritter, while California only gets two senators for 37,000,000 people.

Splitting into more than two states is highly unlikely as that would require Congressional approval. California was granted permission by Congress to split into two states, with no time limitation, when the state entered the Union.

Isn't it amazing that a pool of 37 million people can't do better than Boxer and Feinstein as Senators? If that's the best they can do, what motivation is there to further pollute the Senate with lesser offerings?
