Coming Home [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
From a Senate staffer: "[Kyl] has always told his colleagues that he would suport their right to offer amendments and wouldn't let them be shut out by the Dems. He was adamant about this. This thing was doomed when it became clear that Reid wasn't going to allow ample debate for Sessions and DeMint; Kyl then stood by his fellow conservatives to protect their rights to amend and debate."
This Senate Guy adds: "I will note that, of the dealmakers, only Kyl stood up for conservatives. After repeated promises to the contrary, Graham, McCain, Martinez, and Specter all told the GOP senators to stuff it and tried to block further amendments."
