Profile in Courage awards go to Senators McCain and Graham

My profile in courage awards go to Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham who lived up to JFK's beloved book highlighting the bios of eight political leaders who voted their consciences and principles in spite of political and popular pressure to the contrary. McCain's no vote on the "skinny" repeal/replace bill and his urging to return to regular order to create legislation was dramatic..Graham's defense of AG Sessions was based upon his concern about the damage to rule of law that would turn democracy upside down. I am posting a link to his remarks in full. Pay attention to the last part of his reasoning. It is profound regarding his concern about democracy and the rule of law and the damage Trump is contemplating doing to it.
