The Senate this week began hearings for the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is the right choice for the Supreme Court because he will bring an end to the nearly endless list of federal regulations, many of which were unilaterally imposed by the Obama administration.

Much like that tower, these stifling regulations from the Obama era have caused uncertainty and instability here at home.

Gov. Doug Ducey, R-Ariz., faces an important decision in the coming days that will have national implications in the 2020 and 2022 election cycles. These elections will determine the political fate of an entire generation of Americans. The stakes could not be higher.
