Better go check your constitution.Senators were originally to represent the interest of the states.Our founding fathers believed in legislators representing the interest of the people who elected them.Last time I checked you can't vote in every state.

Yes, but the senators from the individual states have to garner a majority, 2/3s, to pass legislation. That means they have to work together for common conservative goals. Hence why we need conservative senators from all states elected, not just GA. His interest is completely understandable.

60 votes are needed to end a filibuster, not 67.
