He apparently doesn't care for the TOTUS and has been quoted as saying he has no plans to retire until after Obama is out.
Kennedy may be a moderate but I don't think he took kindly to TOTUS's chiding of the court a couple of SOUs ago. What goes around comes around.
ObamaCare is shaping up as a big election issue for 2012. It is like a poison pill for Democrats. Notice how almost NONE of them wants to even talk about it. They just wish this issue would go away. It won’t. Senator Tester of Montana even whined that he wasn’t the 60th vote for ObamaCare. He produced a video of the vote to show that he was technally #52. LOL! EVERY Senator who voted for ObamaCare was really the 60th vote since their vote made the difference as to whether ObamaCare passed or not.
