Edward Kennedy Great Quotations

Chief Justice Rehnquist served this country with the greatest distinction, ... I respected his leadership of the federal judiciary and his strong commitment to the integrity and independence of the courts.

I think my friend and colleague John Kerry is doing a great job, ... I think he was out early, he's worked hard, he's speaking to all of these issues, and I expect he will announce his candidacy and I expect to support him and I expect he'll win.

accepted who he was, but cared more about what he could and should become .... He had only just begun. There was in him a great promise of things to come.

I do not believe that John Roberts has met the burden of proof necessary to be confirmed by the Senate as chief justice of the United States, ... Sadly, there is ample evidence that he would turn the clock back on this country's great march of progress toward equal opportunity for all.
