Ted Kennedy

I am not going to go into a long discussion on this topic, but a some questions came to mind during the Judge (now Justice) Alito hearings. I watched Senator Ted Kennedy try to act like a moral arbiter. Ted Kennedy. The same man who was a drunk driver who, in 1969, allowed a young lady to die because he was trying to save his own career. Now, here is the question:

Why is he still being elected to the Senate from Massachusetts? Even though I know that the U.S. Congress has been filled with cads of various sorts for over 200 years, why is he still warming a seat in the "hallowed" chambers? Shouldn't he have been drummed out of the Senate and held over for a criminal trial? Or did I miss something in the past 37 years that would have caused that not to happen?

Just things that make you go HMMMMM!
