    There is no more certain Republican vote in the entire country for Brett Kavanaugh than Jon Kyl, Arizona's former and once-again senator. Kyl had been serving as Kavanaugh's sherpa in the Senate before Gov. Ducey picked him as a placeholder to replace McCain

    John McCain’s death deprives the Senate of one of its longest-serving members, its chief military hawk & a leading institutionalist. But in the short term, his replacement will bolster the GOP’s majority and likely its party unity

    Trump disparaged McCain's military service. McCain killed Trump's first major legislative push. Theirs was a feud that lasted through the end

    Endurance served McCain nearly as well in politics as it had in war. He endured scandal & smears, electoral defeats & his own recklessness to make 2 serious presidential runs & earn a place as one of America’s most respected political figures. My obituary:

    "When opponents accused him of carpet-bagging, McCain used his war experience to devastating effect. At a candidate forum, he said he would have loved to have spent his entire life in Arizona, 'but I was doing others things.'”

    They adamantly opposed him for attorney general. They view him as "a disaster" on policy, as anti-immigrant, even racist. And now they're fighting to save his job. On the most awkward of alliances between Democrats and Jeff Sessions:

    Can the president restrict a person’s access to classified material for any reason he wants? It may take a lawsuit from John Brennan to find out.
