"How many of us have been given a pass for speeding or some other infraction of the law."
Not so fast. This was not an infraction. It was "knowing, egregious and intentional" abuse of the law and authority. Huge difference.
It was intentional. And by saying he was on his way to vote he prevented them from holding him for a sobriety test.
He scammed the system.
Again, whining about him getting away with something is futile.
The Kennedy's have their own set of rules and their lives are hell on earth for it.
