Centrist Georgians wanting to stop government abuse should choose HerschelWalker, writes QuinHillyer.
Yes, Republicans should never have nominated Walker, and even after nominating him, they should have tried to find a way to provide voters with another choice. Still, with President Joe Biden trying to govern as an uncompromising leftist and at least 50 Democratic allies for him already in a 100-member Senate presided over by his extremist vice president, Kamala Harris, there is not much Walker can do to cause harm to the public weal.
Warnock will vote for every radical nominee Biden puts forward for the judiciary, the executive branch, or quasi-independent agencies. Walker won’t. With Walker’s vote, the Senate can still block the worst of the nominees if even one centrist Democrat, such as Sen. Joe Manchin , decides Biden’s choice is just too much to stomach. Right now, for example, judicial nominee Nancy Gbana Abadu languishes, unconfirmed, for the federal appeals court overseeing Georgia cases.
Even worse, with 51 votes instead of 50, Democrats will be on the knife’s edge of being able to change the rules and eliminate the filibuster rule that protects the prerogatives of large minority coalitions. Once eliminated, the filibuster is likely never to make a comeback, and a bare 50-plus-vice president majority in the future will be able to ram through legislation without hearings or debate, which affects the rights and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people.
