If a legislator is "safe" from competition, or if he represents groups with the same economic and political beliefs, he does not have to change his ideas or respond to the needs of the broader population. He can rest content with a mediocre, absentee performance knowing he will be returned to office. And as he is returned year after year the seniority system gives him immense control over people from other parts of the country whose views he need not heed at all. -Senator Edward M. Kennedy Decisions for a Decade, published in 1968

"We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters, which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court." -- Senator Ted Kennedy
I just love teddy, he is in fact a caricature of himself, and the most amazing thing about him or perhaps the citizens of MA, is that he has been in office since 1962, probably longer than the age of most people on yahoo answers.
