R.I.P.,

I always respected CBB...he and I had a few interactions, and he was always helpful.

God be with his family.

CB was a beacon of light for so many of us here through the years. God rest his soul and heartfelt condolances to all his loved ones. FR has lost a great mind and a kind, decent man.

His keen intellect and dry sense of humor will be greatly missed. His ability to make the complexities of constitutional law easy for the layman to understand were a gift to us.

A true patriot and honorable man was John. He will be missed. He and El Roy (aka Texas Cowboy) will get along well together.

OMG. I just read his cancer thread. I guess I better get that colonoscopy after all.

What a stunning and very unexpected turn of events. I thought he was recovering reasonably well. May the Angels of Paradise receive him into everlasting rest and may God bless and comfort his family. RIP, John.
