legislation for which Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) will be remembered
is precisely the sort of top-down, centralized legislation that
needs to be jettisoned in the 21st century," writes

controversial liberal lion.
Yet "buried deep within Kennedy's legislative legacy [is] a different set of policies worth exhuming and examining, precisely because they were truly a break with the normal way of doing business in Washington."
