Article I Section 6 of the US Constitution says "Representatives shall ...be privileged from Arrest during their Attendence at the Session ... and in going to and returning from the same". We have the same provision in the Georgia Constitution (it is supposed to prevent arrest by opposing political hacks influencing votes), and recently had a case where a state judge threw that defense out because of what time it was. I think Kennedy had heard about that and used the "late for a vote" for the reason that (if he actually has read the Constitution instead of just watching it burn at Kennedy Coven Meetings) the "returning from" part might not be as familiar to junior officers and getting it on the record that he was impaired might be embarrassing to the boy. BTW, doesn't DC have a "under the influence" statute? Here, prescriptions are included under the heading of influence. The “late for a vote” routine is why they didn’t give him a sobriety test.

Who's gonna throw him in jail, Teddy? Teddy probably couldn't find his way legally to the jail, either! Come on, folks. He didn't kill anyone, like Tubby did. He only came close with the police cruiser. With a name like his, a miss is as good as a mile (or, like "The Swimmer", it didn't happen at all). And alcoholism? A fancy word for "I want society to be responsible for my problem". Before you get on me about that last sentence, I'm a recovering addict, too. Difference is, I'm not doing my addiction any more 'cause I have chosen not to. Kennedy (take your pick about which one) can't say that. Doesn't make me better, only clean.
