Thanks. I have a slight niggle in my memory that Kyl is not a trustworthy conservative but I don’t recall where that slight feeling may have originated from. I think I suspect he might be a globalist—in the closet or not. But I don’t know why I feel that way. Maybe I’m off-base about that.

National Review (cough) rated him as 4th most conservative senator at the time. Then there's this, from July 9, 2018:

Former Sen. Jon Kyl to guide Trump Supreme Court pick through nomination process.

Kyl is already on the Trump team.
