Lindsey Graham’s death at 71 deprives the Senate of one of its clearest voices for restoring constitutional order after decades of judicial and bureaucratic expansion. As a steadfast ally to President Trump, Graham helped confirm originalist judges who reined in federal power and defended the separation of powers against progressive overreach. His absence leaves fewer senators willing to challenge the administrative state’s steady erosion of self-government. Graham grasped that the Constitution was designed to restrain Washington, not empower it to reorder society through endless regulation and foreign entanglements. He consistently backed measures that returned authority to states and the people rather than unelected agencies. In an era when both parties often treat the document as optional, his record showed the difference one senator can make when he treats its limits as binding. Conservatives must now fill that void before the next generation forgets why those limits exist.
