Name 5 GOOD things Ted Kennedy did!

This thread is not intended to troll, I am asking a simple question. What good policies did Ted Kennedy enact during his time as a Senator.

I personally thought he was a corrupt politician, as are most politicians, but what good did he actually do?

Thoughts?

He never was elected president. That was the best thing he did for America.

Expanded health care. Sponsored the Equal Rights Amendment. Co-sponsored the Americans with Disabilities Act. Sponsored the 1970 bill giving 18 y/os the right to vote. Wrote the No Child Left Behind Act w/Bush. Penned more than 2,500 pieces of legislation.

What have you done?

Can't think of one.

He was a selfish, incompetent who owed his Senate seat to the death of his brother and the corruption of his father.
