Kennedy to be knighted

Wow! That's great Honor. He deserves it. Remember that his father Joseph was an Ambassador to the United Kingdom during the start of WWII.
Thanks Great Britain!

Sheerly disgusting. A United States citizen bowing before royalty. For shame!

What a travestry. He is singularly responsible for the destruction of the socio and economic fabric of our country, taking us third world in one generation.

Great give an award to a known Coward and Liar this just cheapens the knighthood

Being knighted says that you are swearing an allegiance to the queen... We are a country of the people, his allegiance is too us, and the constitution... this act should be grounds for impeachment.

He will now be known as Sir smashed!

Article 1 section 9 of the constitution prohibits this without a prior consent decree from congress.

OMG, have the Brits gone crazy? This guy should be in jail, not at the round table.

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

I think i'm gonna puke..

U.S Constitution, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

How can one knight a man who man-slaughtered a woman and then took over 8 hours to report the incident, after sobering up. Maybe he has done well since that fateful day, but his character is flawed when you consider the spineless, selfish, despicable act he carried out. A coward to be knighted?

The People of Massachusets should be very proud of this gentleman's record in the Senate, his work on behalf of the poor is unmatched by anyone in history.
As a Social Worker, I applaud his work, and feel this honor is overdue.

Cool!

The Constitution of the United States
Article I - The Legislative Branch
Section 9 - Limits on Congress

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.

Article 1, Section 9, paragraph 8:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them [e.g., a US Senator], shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Will Kennedy insist that the Congress do its duty and give its consent before accepting the title--or will he ignore the Constitution?

It is an HONOURARY knighthood and, no, he will not be called Sir Ted Kennedy.

Other americans have also been honoured with honourary knighthoods, including Ronald Reagan, Colin Powell, Dwight Eisenhower among others. Nobody ever call Reagan Sir Ronald.

One would not expect an unindicted murderer, who called his lawyer in lieu of an ambulance, to have the intestinal fortuitude of fellow Irish like the Hepburn, who, when called to make a appearance before the Crown, declared that, if Bessie Windsor wanted to see her, she could bloody well come and plop down her two bob like everyone else.

Norman,

Hepburn was English and Scot, not Irish...

Such venom, the man's dying give him a break. Whether you want to believe it or not, he has done a lot of good for many people. Can you say that??
