doug ducey's state supreme court sent back democracy in arizona. what doug ducey did to arizona, donald trump will do to america with this supreme court. we cannot let that happen. my colleagues in the senate should reject judge kavanaugh's nomination. our democracy depends on it and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair now recognizes the gentleman from ohio, mr. wenstrup, for five minutes. mr. wenstrup: mr. speaker, i rise to sound the alarm about an ominous trend that seems to be taking hold in our nation. in june, a self-devout democrat socialist jumped into the spotlight in her quest to join this body. a new socialist trend among some in the united states, so i ask, what would that socialist -- what would socialist policies mean for our country's future? i've come to realize a whole generation of americans have grown up for whom the soviet union is just a distant historical memory. many have no personal memory of when the soviet union came crashing down in 1991, which was dramatic proof that its socialist system was a dismal failure

in arizona governor doug ducey announced former senator john kyle will replace the late senator, john mccain. he will serve in the senate until her placement is elected in a special election scheduled for 2020. here's the governor's announcement. >> we had just concluded a very difficult week for our state and our country. john mccain was an american hero and we were very blessed to have him as our senator. we are all aware of the size of the void john mccain leaves. our prayers and our heart remain with sydney mccain and the entire working family and we will continue to celebrate the life of john mccain. i want to start off by saying that we all hoped today would never come. but it has come. i realize what an important decision this is in there is no replacing senator mccain. the law requires me to do it. and the people of arizona deserve representation in the u.s. senate. the decision that i made with careful and thoughtful deliberation. as you can imagine i received a lot of advice from people about this selection and most of it unsolicited. the best piece of advice i received was

with senator mccain laid to rest, who will governor doug ducey pick to fill his seat? others hoping for someone who closely align with the president. whomever the governor picks will fill the seat until 2020. >> if you want proof that bipartisanship is possible, dave, i want to show you the sweet moments. former president george w. bush sneaking a piece of candy from laura bush and giving it to michelle obama. it shows humanity still exists when they are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. >> you wonder if we will ever see that progress with president trump next to those presidents? i don't know. it is doubtful. you hope that continuity we mains. it would be -- remains. it would be shocking. >>> senate confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh begin tomorrow. democrats are complaining about the trump administration decision to withhold more than 1 100,000 pages of documents. the pages are proptected by executive privilege. >> chuck schumer calling it a friday night document massacre. the documents which were released are simply schedul

>>> former senator jon kyl tapped by arizona governor doug ducey to replace the late john mccain. kyl happens to be the republican attorney who's been advising president trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh. now he gets to vote on his confirmation. >> it is my honor to be helping on the kavanaugh nomination. i believe in judge kavanaugh. and in that capacity, i've been able to support not just judge kavanaugh, but the administration, and i think the proper administration of justice. >> kyl is well liked by the president's political team and by the mccain family. he says he won't be running for re-election, leaving open the possibility of a bruising primary in 2020. >>> chicago mayor rahm emanuel says he will not seek a third term. he announced the decision at a city hall news conference alongside his wife. >> this has been the job of a lifetime but it is not a job for a lifetime. amy and i have decided it's time to write another chapter together. we have more to do. and from now until then, we'll do everything in our power to get it done and walk out the door, hopefully,

governor ducey has kept it very close to the vest over the last weeks and months. obviously, this was something that no one in arizona wanted to talk about. during the last week of services, you know, his advisors would not talk who is on the list. atop the list is cindy mccain, who is popular but not within the right wing of the republican party. and the governor is facing political challenges of his own. the thinking is he might be someone how is more of a consensus pick, john kyle or john shad i go, matt salmon, or potentially someone pushed by the business community who is lesser known like the state treasurer, a woman who would be more of a diversity pick. we know they want to act quickly but also look respectful to the legacy of john mccain. and as joe biden said last week, we may no of the see his like again. so a very difficult decision for the governor, brooke. >> let me ask you, as of course all of us are focusing on who that might be in arizona, the president, on this seemingly quiet memorial day monday afternoon just tweeted again, more shade, directed

cheryl: an immense help to governor ducey of arizona. what a pick. >> it's a great pick. it eliminates politics for short period of time. he is a good vote, good conservative. the fourth most conservative member in the congress. he just adds an adult in the room when they have tough negotiations on budgets and other things. cheryl: certainly are in particular as we monitor what is happening in washington with the confirm hearings happening with judge kavanaugh. this affects decades of our lives, beyond our lives, our children's lives. >> obviously kavanaugh is a great choice. at this point in time anybody that trump nominates is going to have controversy or vice versa. if hillary clinton would have got elected, same would have happened. just too bad they don't step back to measure the man on the qualifications which are superb. been on the number three country in the country, decease court of appeals for 10 years. that has a long record and you should measure him on. cheryl: with balance of the 51-49 with kyle. this got a lot of attention over the weekend. the president t

today a big decision from governer ducey, you were obviously so and what are your thoughts on when he decides to do that. >> they take his wing man who tries to solve hard problems and let him finish out his good friends term. it makes a lot of sense to me. come january we will get someone who will be able to run in 2,020, but a governer ducey did the people of arizona a great service. as for the vote for a kavanaugh, today the big winner was trumpet and the big loser was the democratic party because of this is their approach, as to how to govern, they will have a hard time in 2,020. >> martha: there was a lot of campaigning going on. >> senator graham: there was a lot. if you are running for democrat as president, you have to please the people doing the yelling. i think the country has lied to us to get things done and at times donald trump drives me crazy but he has produced. kavanaugh is the single best legal mind of his generation, and a republican president have picked him. he at the end of the day and they are in charge, they expect us to vote for their charge judges but when we

so ducey is going to have a difficult decision. >> what are you hearing, david? >> my sources tell me the governor is less interested in choosing a caretaker. he'd like to choose someone who will run for election in 2020 and then run for re-election in 2022, which is when mccain's term actually ends. the governor wants this person to be somebody who can actually satisfy the trump base, the republican base, while still doing well with a general election electorate, which could be very competitive in 2020 at the presidential level. >> i want to play for you all again meghan mccain from saturday from her eulogy of her father and then what lindsey graham, john mccain's close friend, told me yesterday what he thought it meant. >> the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. >> she is her father's daughter. if you say something bad about her dad, you will know it, whether you're the janitor or the president of the united states. she's grieving for the father she adored. i think most americans understand that. >> i thin
