The articleis called, let's mess with texas. It begins with a quotation from the congressional resolution under which texas was admitted to the union in 18 forty five. When congress passed that statute saying you could do this, that's consent. They consented on these terms, and the consent has not been taken away. That's as many as five states where there is now only one, ten us Senators. Texas hasn't sent a democrat to the us Senate since the early 19 nineties.
