"We Need to Remind People That You Cannot Trample the Bill of Rights" - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Calls For Impeachment
Monday, September 8, 2008 :A day after Ted Kennedy addressed the Democratic Convention in Denver, the Kennedys gathered at the historic Brown Palace Hotel in Denver to remember another Kennedy, Ted's brother, Robert F Kennedy. He was assassinated 40 years ago, the night he won the Los Angeles Democratic primary. After the event, I sat down with his son Robert F Kennedy's son, environmental attorney Robert F Kennedy, Jr. He spoke about torture, impeachment and the most poignant memories of his father.
One of the most moving events at the Democratic National Convention was the speech by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy spoke in one of his first public appearances since being diagnosed with a brain tumor in May. When he flew in to Colorado, he was immediately taken to the University of Denver hospital. Though his family and doctors had advised against it, he delivered his speech. He came to the convention floor and was escorted by his niece, Caroline Kennedy.
