US Senator John McCain, diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, was given a hero’s welcome on his return to the Capitol on Tuesday, but quickly seized the opportunity to blister his party and his president for partisan politics. McCain entered the Senate chamber to a standing ovation, with his vote helping Republicans open a floor debate, setting the stage for them to fashion a legislative replacement for Obamacare. While Democrats did little better in 2010, McCain said, "We shouldn't do the same with ours." He called on the Senate to make a renewed commitment to bipartisanship. He said he would remain in Washington for a few days before returning to Arizona for treatment.
