High Court Justices Among Those Paying Tribute to Sen. Kennedy
The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a pair of statements on the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. -- one from Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., and the other from Justice Stephen Breyer, who worked for Kennedy 30 years ago as chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Kennedy pushed for Breyer's nomination to the high court in the early 1990s, and opposed Roberts' nomination in 2005.




"I am very saddened by Senator Kennedy's passing. He was -- all his life -- a sincere, dedicated, and tireless public servant." Chief Justice John Roberts





"The country has lost a great senator. We who worked for him remember and will always cherish his practical wisdom, his sense of humor, his determination, and his love of his country and its history. He was dedicated to helping others. Our hearts go out to Vicki and to his family. Senator Kennedy was a great American." -Justice Stephen Breyer
