Orrin G. Hatch, Longest-Serving Republican in Senate History, Dies at 88

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : To the surprise of both, they found common ground in their efforts to improve health care and social services.
53% : In only his second year in the Senate, Mr. Hatch joined another GOP freshman, Richard Lugar of Indiana, in filibustering a major Democratic-backed labor bill that would have eased barriers to union organizing and, according to Mr. Hatch, led the country "straight to socialism."
47% : Kennedy was an established Senate force when the Utah firebrand crashed onto the national scene, itching to balance the budget, overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, bury the Equal Rights Amendment and otherwise steer the ship of state rightward.
36% : During the Obama White House years, he was an untiring foe of the Affordable Care Act, and he capped his career shepherding President Trump's 2017 tax cut through the Senate, despite arguments that it would balloon the national debt.
