‘You Don’t Stop Drunk Drivers By Getting Rid Of All Sober Drivers’

KENNEDY: “I’ve listened to my colleagues’ comments with interest. And I join with Sen. Feinstein in hoping that we can do something about this. But I do think we ought to keep this in perspective. What has happened in the last few days, what’s happened in the last years is, of course, tragic.
