Kennedy has gained a reputation as a very [[liberal]] Senator, even further to the left than most Democrats. On [[abortion]] he has a very anti-life record. He voted against confirming Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court of the United States and was in the minority of his own party to vote against confirming Judge John Roberts to the Court. On [[Immigration]] Kennedy has been a strong supporter of amnesty for Illegal Aliens. He voted against the war in [[Iraq]] and is also one of only five Senators who say they support gay marriage.
