Hugh Hewitt interviewed Arizona Senator Jon Kyl yesterday, and some of that's below the fold.

JK: And if there is a filibuster [of Kavanaugh], it's really going to put that agreement to the test, because, like you say, and I agree, I just don't think there's a case to be made against him that would be extraordinary circumstances.

HH: Senator Kyl, is there a reason why Boyle is ahead of Kavanaugh? And I just say this. I've got nothing against Mr. Boyle...

JK: Boyle's only been pending, I think, nineteen years. Yea, that's the reason.

HH: That's almost John Roberts territory.

JK: Yea. Boyle was first nominated by Bush 41.

HH: Yup. That's like John Roberts was as well. So that's it. That's why that is.

JK: Yea.

HH: Okay. Well then, you know what? Two more weeks for Brett Kavanaugh? I think people can live with that, and then we'll see what happens….

HH: Well, Senator Kyl, thanks for the update. By the way, are you planning to spend summer in DC with a Supreme Court nominee?

JK: It could well happen that that's going to be on our plate. But a lot of that might be after the summer, rather than during the summer.
