But there are some aspects to the Kennedy matter that require answers. If Patrick Kennedy, who is not a first offender, is addicted to painkillers, from where did he get them? And there are news reports that he had been drinking earlier at a Capitol Hill bar and alcohol was later smelled on his breath. So, why was the officer on the scene prevented by more senior police officers from performing a routine sobriety test?

The hypocrisy of these people is unbelievable. What bugs me is that the cop didn't give him a sobriety test, and “relied”on his explanation about taking painkillers. The only thing I can think of is that these people are above the law. I just can't imagine anyone doing what he did and and not taking a sobriety test.

Yeah. If it was you, me, or anyone else here, we'd be subjected to a sobriety test based on the fact that we couldn't stand up without stumbling all over the place.

You are 100% correct. This situation is almost like a parody of a Kennedy drunk driving scandal. Absurd, top to bottom!
