we're still waiting for kennedy to open his papers on conversations he had with his lawyer while mary jo was still alive and trapped in the car that drunken ted drove off the bridge.si vis pacem,para bellum
I'd love for someone in the GOP to have the 'nads to say this:
"I'm today calling for Senator Kennedy to resign his seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee until such time as a thorough Senate investigation of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne is completed. Questions continue to linger about Senator Kennedy's complicity in this young woman's death. The Massachusetts investigation into the incident back in 1969 could well have been tainted by party politics in a state where the Kennedy name, and the Kennedy wealth, were used to maximum advantage. It raises serious issues of equal protection of the laws that such a shocking breach of state statutes regarding leaving the scene of an accident were taken so lightly. Would a truck driver or factory worker have gotten off so easily in the same circumstance? In recent years, many murder cases from the civil rights era have been reopened. It is time for the Senate to reopen the Chappaquddick case as a civil rights issue. Was Senator Kennedy's callous abandonment of Miss Kopechne due to hostility toward her gender? Is there evidence of emotional and psychological abuse of women in Senator Kennedy's background? This issue needs to be thoroughly investigated. Until such time, Senator Kennedy needs to withdraw from the Judiciary Committee, where the appearance of impropriety taints any role he might play there."
