'''Jon Kyl''', born April 25, 1942 (age {{age|1942|4|25}}), is a former United States Senator from [[Arizona]]. At the time of his retirement from the Senate in 2012, Kyl served as Senate Minority [[Republican]] Whip. In 2008, National Journal ranked Kyl the most [[conservative]] U.S. Senator.<ref>http://www.nationaljournal.com/2008voteratings</ref>
==United States Senate==
Kyl co-sponsored legislation that would give illegal immigrants up to five years to leave the country.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190550,00.html</ref>
In February 2006, Kyl joined Senator [[Lindsey Graham]] in filing an [[amicus brief]] in the ''Hamdan v. Rumsfeld'' case, which appears to have been an attempt to mislead the [[Supreme Court]] by presenting an “extensive colloquy” added to the Congressional record but not actually spoken live in the December 21, 2005 debate as evidence that "Congress was aware" that the [[Detainee Treatment Act]] would strip the Supreme Court of jurisdiction to hear "pending cases, including this case" brought by the Guantanamo detainees.<ref>http://www.slate.com/id/2138750</ref>
Kyl appeared in the U.S. national news near the end of his 2006 campaign as an example of a case where some bloggers were attempting to influence search engine results for searches on Kyl's name.<ref>http://news.com.com/2102-1028_3-6129719.html?tag=st.util.print</ref>
