At the moment, the upside of Kennedy is her name, which would be a positive as a senator.

There's no record at all in which to evaluate political competency. If this were an election, you'd at least have a campaign to consider.

But this is a political appointment to an office with a constituency much broader than a Congressional District. She would represent a state, and be one of only 100 people that shape national policy.

I'd be OK with it if it was a Rep appointment. She would immediately qualify if measured against some of the idiots now occupying the House.
