Strenuous disagreement
OK, I'll be 'that guy' ...
"The Republican plan hatched by Perdue, [Rep. Jerry] Keen and [Sen. Bill] Heath sounds more like a plot to limit democracy and ignore the Constitution.”
Listen, this is a dumb argument.
If your position is that having a governor appoint constitutional officers is limiting democracy, then your argument must logically extend to the federal level one as well where similar positions are appointed. If this is your position, why aren't we clamoring to get rid of the 2/3 rule that requires a supermajority to put anything up for a statewide referendum? And, for that matter, ff this is your position, then why aren't you questioning why Georgia has elected representatives when we could just vote on everything in a referendum?
I get there are rationale arguments opposing this move, and I respect that, but couching it behind the argument that it's going to 'limit democracy' reeks of political pandering.
