John Kyl, idiot.
Jon Kyl Named To Replace Senator John McCain
(snip)
Jon Kyl will toe the hard-right line. He was the first to propose to the Federalist Society that all of President Obama's Supreme Court nominees should be filibustered. That was in 2008, before Obama's inauguration. He doubled down on that in 2010.
Kyl has been Brett Kavanaugh's sherpa around the Senate, so it is a given that he will reliably vote to confirm Kavanaugh, despite his nomination by a corrupt, compromised, illegitimate president.
And finally, it's likely Kyl could do real harm to the ACA. As you might recall, Kyl was the one in committee meetings during the ACA who grumbled about including maternity coverage, since he would never need it.

That means that Ducey would like to appoint himself if he loses his race this fall... or appoint someone for the full two years who he worries might hurt his shot for re-election.
Clever... but also discouraging.
