		<description>In order to bring attention to the Kennedy cover up,  a group of like minded conservatives have banded together to produce the successful &quot;Kennedy Sobriety Checkpoint,&quot; held this past week in D.C. 

They stood together, fighting the good fight, making the roads safer for you and me. 

Their video can be seen at the Public Advocate Website. http://www.publicadvocateusa.org/</description>

		<description>Background info: According to two independent sources, Kennedy probably lied about not using alcohol:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0505062kennedy1.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Capital Police incident report states Kennedy under influence of alcohol&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=137995&amp;format=text&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bar hostess says Kennedy drinking that night&lt;/a&gt;

As I&#039;ve pointed out elsewhere, if he lied to the police about this, that was obstruction of justice.

&lt;strong&gt;However, there is a much more serious side to this.&lt;/strong&gt;

Kennedy told officers he was going to a House vote at 2:45 AM. As you may be aware, the U.S. Constitution protects Members of Congress from being arrested or detained by the police in most circumstances providing they are going to or from the House to vote. This is to protect from interference in the Democratic process by the administration or police.

He lied to the Capital Police officers and told them he was on his way to a vote at 2:45 AM... when there was no vote... which may have caused the Capital Police to confer with higher-ups and the higher-ups to order not to arrest Kennedy because of the U.S. Constitution... is Kennedy guilty of obstruction of justice: a felony?

If I was on a jury, I’d have to conclude he was.

&lt;strong&gt;He’s trying to escape legal jeopardy.&lt;/strong&gt;

Q. Why did he lie about his drinking to the officers if he did so?
A. Obstruction of justice.

Q. Why did he lie about going to a vote at 2:45 AM if he wasn’t?
A. Abusing his power as a Congressman to &lt;em&gt;subvert the U.S. Constitution&lt;/em&gt; and obstruct justice.

So now he’s saying he wasn’t drinking, but he was abusing prescription drugs. This despite the two previous sources I cited that state he was either “under the influence of alcohol” (the cops) or “drinking” (bar hostess).

And Kennedy’s own statement said that he took precisely the prescribed amount of his prescription drugs and no more.

His statements have &lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/archives/005136.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;changed multiple times&lt;/a&gt;, but it&#039;s his actions that night, which were in my opinion felonious.

If it walks like abusing his power to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruction of justice and if it talks like abusing his power to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruction of justice, it&#039;s a duck.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Point:&lt;/em&gt;

Patrick Kennedy abused his power as a Congressman to &lt;strong&gt;subvert the U.S. Constitution&lt;/strong&gt; and obstruct justice when he lied to the Capital Police about going to a House vote at 2:45 AM when there wasn&#039;t any House vote at that time.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
