waste of time —

They can’t become a state after becoming a state without first withdrawing from statehood which was decided by a civil war 150 yrs ago.

Anyway — can you imagine 12 senators from California???

750,000 people in Alaska have 2 senators while 38 million people in CA have 2 senators.

Even if they split and add the additional senators to the resulting states, Alaskans will still be better represented.
