Hey, let's ask Kennedy about how his zeal for affirmative action doesn't apply to his personal life.

He favors racial set asides ensuring that minority businesses get guaranteed portions of contracts.

But whre his family interests are concerns, those views fade.

The Kennedy family limited partnerships - WDC Associates and Fourth and D Street Partners had a minority clause which Kennedy got Washington mayor Marion Berry to waive and so the Kennedys were allowed to purchase an entire city block in D.C. just block from the Capitol Building.

Let's see if the rebuttal strategy holds true after Grassley gets up.

Hope he smacks down Kennedy next.

The Patriarch, Joseph, made his money rum running during prohibition and a fortune in insider trading on the London Exchange when Ambassador to Britain.

Rush is making scathing comparisons of Kennedy and his family background in contrast with Alito and his family background.

Kennedy didn't comply with minimum wage law until the Republicans forced him to -- not sure if it was as late as the 90s but prior to Reagan, he definitely was not complying
