Edward Kennedy
Will a nominee embrace and uphold the essential meaning of the four words inscribed above the entrance of the Supreme Court building: Equal justice under law?
Edward Kennedy
We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.
Edward Kennedy
The torture and other sadistic abuses of prisoners in Iraq have done immense damage already to America's reputation in the world, and the worst may be yet to come. Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management.
Edward Kennedy
We were taught never to give up, never to passively accept fate, but to exhaust every last ounce of will and hope in the face of any challenge.

I don't think America can just drill itself out of its current energy situation. We don't need to destroy the environment to meet our energy needs. We need smart, comprehensive, common-sense approaches that balance the need to increase domestic energy supplies with the need to maximize energy efficiency.
Edward Kennedy

Edward Kennedy
Health care is not just another commodity. It is not a gift to be rationed based on the ability to pay. It is time to make universal health insurance a national priority, so that the basic right to health care can finally become a reality for every American.
Edward Kennedy
A good marriage is loving someone in a lot of different circumstances. Respect for them and their views and ideas and the life that they're leading with you. Shared values and interests. A good sense of humour. And a little volatility along the way.
Edward Kennedy
Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?
Edward Kennedy
Individual faults and frailties are no excuse to give in - and no exemption from the common obligation to give of ourselves.
Edward Kennedy
As a society, we've learned that we're all better off when everyone is included in the opportunities of this great nation.
Edward Kennedy
Separation of church and state cannot mean an absolute separation between moral principles and political power.
Edward Kennedy
My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
Edward Kennedy
It is extraordinary that each of the three individuals this president [ George W. Bush] has nominated for the Supreme Court - Chief Justice [John] Roberts, Harriet Miers and now Judge Alito - has served not only as a lawyer for the executive branch, but has defended the most expansive view of presidential authority.
Edward Kennedy
Integrity is the lifeblood of democracy. Deceit is a poison in its veins.
