Is there anyone to replace John McCain in the Republican party?

As often as I disagreed with John McCain, there was never any question he has a patriot. He loved his country and the Senate. He was a flawed but decent man.

When confronted with a president of his party who is neither a patriot nor a decent man, he stood up to him. He did so because he placed his country above the his party. Now, Senator McCain's party blindly follows a president to the point that it turns its back on John McCain and embraces not only an attack on our democracy but even the adversary nation that conspired, and continues to conspire, in that attack.

I hope but am not hopeful that somewhere in DC there is a republican Senator that is struck by the loss of Senator McCain and wonder if he or she should step-up and become the next real lion of the Senate - someone who puts the country and the institution of the Senate above the very short-term interests of the party.

As I say, I am not hopeful because it is difficult to be hopeful these days. Nevertheless, I will continue to hope.

Pecker and National Enquirer

I have seen the reports that Pecker was granted immunity. Does anyone know if The National Enquirer was granted immunity?

Corporations can be indicted too.

Welcome to the trial lawyer's world.

Waiting for the jury to come back is the most excruciating part of any trial. You wonder what could they be doing? What could I have done better? Was it all not as clear as it seemed to me?

All you have is the knowledge that it feels so good when it quits hurting - except when it doesn't.

Sucks, huh?
