As happy as I am that the Affordable Care Act was not struck down by the Supreme Court, the most stomach-turning moment of the day came from Nancy Pelosi, one of the chief supporters of the reform. She said, in victory, about Ted Kennedy: “I knew that when he left us he would go to heaven and help pass the bill. And now he can rest in peace. His dream for America’s families has become a reality.”

If there was such a thing as heaven, Ted Kennedy would certainly not be there. If you display, at the very least, grave indifference for the life of another person (Mary Jo Kopechne, in this case), you don’t deserve to be celebrated and sanctified. People who believe in my party right or wrong are sickening. Wrong is wrong.•
