I mean he wasn't just a Senator, but he was also the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which has oversight on "the nation's military, including the Department of Defense, military research and development, and nuclear energy (as pertaining to national security),"

I'm not saying McCain was completely out of his mind, but he had some rough patches. (The Comey questioning.) I feel like there's some things that you really want to be 100% on people's brains working properly, and that's not really possible when they have brain cancer.

As Matt said, some people with a brain tumor have little to no mental impairment. Whereas, someone with simple blood sugar issues could be far far away from having their brain working properly.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but, as with the legal system, there's always going to be a degree of human error because we're humans*.
