Has Kennedy ever passed the bar?

[The Worthless Miracle]

I doubt he passed the bar exam, but he's never passed a bar.

[goldstategop]

Liberals want to both make the laws when they're in power and if they aren't they want judges to make it for them. Its a pretty good fallback position which illustrates their cynicism and utter inability to convince people they have ideas that can be passed through the democratic process.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[pabianice]

Ted Kennedy knows integrity.

[joebuck]

"Has Kennedy ever passed the bar"

Not without first stopping in for a few drinks.

[JennysCool]

Not without ducking in for a quick one.

[antienvironmentalist]

Teddy has never passed a bar without going in for atleast one drink. Preferably Chivas on the rocks.

[HarleyLady27]

Yes; Yes; Yes; Amen to all of it;

[hombre_sincero]

"Pass laws claiming they mean one thing and then ask the courts to interpret them more broadly"

That is why NOBODY can understand anything that any law says anymore.

We should require all laws to have a sunset clause and be written in ENGLISH - plain and simple - the TEN Commandments weren't that diffuclt to understand - I could understand the Bill of RIghts in Junior High - why can't lawyer scumbags and their Masters-in-black-robes understand?

Is that why we cannot have a reading comprehension test for voters? Most of the politicians, lawyers and judges couldn't pass the test?

The Kennedy clan in general are in the same league as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Calypso Louie. They are Race Pimps and Poverty Brokers and these words should be on their business cards.

Without a black population which PERCIEVES racial inequality they have no supporters and they do not get their HUGE MANSIONS, SPORTS CARS, LIMOUSINES, SERVANTS, YACHTS etc.

The perpetuation of racial tension, ignorance, and minority poverty is vital to their fame and lifestyle.

[peyton randolph]

Ted Kennedy knows integrity.

He confuses stare deceased mistress with stare decisis.

[MEG33]

Ted is a joke..

[EDINVA]

possibly the best editorial EVER !!

[stickandpucknut]

I REALLY CANT BELIVE THERE ARE THAT MANY STUPID PEOPLE IN MASS TO RE-ELECT HIM NUMEROUS TIMES.

[Condor51]

***Has Kennedy ever passed the bar?***

Yes he has, many - and never without stopping in.

:-)

I had to check: Kennedy attended . . .

. . . the University of Virginia Law School 1959; served in the United States Army 1951-1953; admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1959; appointed assistant district attorney in Suffolk County 1961; elected in a special election on November 6, 1962, as a Democrat to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the 1960 resignation of his brother, John Fitzgerald Kennedy . . . .

Looks like he whiled away the two years from passing the MA bar in 1959 until he got in as Asst DA in Suffolk (Boston) in 1961 (political influence here? Surely not!) to give him some credibility for the Senate run.
