Edward Kennedy
We need the breast and the brightest to- umm the best and the brightest.
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
We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court.
Edward Kennedy
Legal immigrants play by the rules and come in under the law. They work, raise their families, pay taxes, and serve in the Armed Forces. ...

Edward Kennedy

Edward Kennedy
