mr. president, i would yield the floor. >> earlier today senator spoke on the senate floor to honor robert f. kennedy. he talks about mr. kennedy's life and his impact on the united states history. >> today we remember robt f. kennedy whose life was brutally savagely cut short 50 years ago. robert kennedy was a presidential candidate, a united states senator, member of this chamber, an attorney general, a naval officer, a father, a son, a husband, a brother, but more than all of that he was a beacon of hope amidst turbulent and difficult times in our nation. and he was an inspiration to generations of americans. speaking at his younger brother's funeral, our former colleague senator ted kennedy said that robert kennedy, quote, need not be idolized ornlarge in death beyond what he was in life, that he can be remembered simply as a goo and

mrs. kennedy, etsdzle, members of the kennedy fam -- ethel. of the kennedy family, for inviting me to join you again 25 years later from the first time we had this and 50 years since we lost senator kennedy. i thank those who have sung and spoken before reminding us once more of the timeless wisdom of robert kennedy's words. and all of you for the efforts you have made over half a century to advance the work he could not finish. i think if he were here today and as we were told in the invocation he really is here remind us that perhaps the words he spoke then are truer today than they were hen. in another time of hope heart break and division it is important that we remember what he meant to us when we were young and what he means today. in 1968, after a couple of tumultuous years leading up to it, every day seemed to bring a new piece of bad news. in a deepening division in semester was my last in college here at georgetown. somebody said what did you do at the end of your college career? well, martin luther king got killed on april 4, just a

mr. cole: yeah. justice kennedy: it's not their identity, it's what they're doing. mr. cole: yeah. justice kennedy: i think it's -- your identity thing is just too acile. mr. cole: well, justice kennedy, this court faced that question in bob jones university. bob jones university said we're not discriminating on the basis of race, we allow black people to come into the school. we just refuse to admit those who are engaged in interracial marriages or advocate interracial dating. and this court said that's race discrimination. that's identity-based discrimination, even if you treat others similarly. but i think one way to think about this case is analogize it to o'brien, right? in o'brien, nobody disputed that o'brien's burning of the draft card to protest the vietnam war was expressive. it was core political expression. but what the court did was it didn't say, well, how expressive is it? is it artistry, is it not? is it core, is it not? it said what is the state trying to do here? because it's expressive conduct. and if the state's seeking to regulate conduct, then the fact that it

mr. kennedy: at its core our health care system reflects a commitment that we as a country make to our neighbors at their moment of deepest need. it unites us because every single one of us at some point have called on that system. bringing a child into this world. or watching a loved one pass-through it. or a hard twist of fate or fortune along our jounies. -- journeys. a young boy diagnosed with leukemia, a young woman with a.l.s. in a car tball player accident. randy, a 10-year cancer survivor from washington. these stories are what unite us a country, as a people, and resonate their commitment to our health care system. the why we know at our core promise to never discriminate against someone for their own a valueance could -- is all of us should fight to uphold. it could be the difference between life and death. for many of us, battling lung cancer would be the ultimate fight for our lives. it for randy -- for randy, that fight was just beginning. now he fights for every single patient who has had to confront what he did. we're lucky to have randy with us today.
