Odds are that members of the Utah legislative majority party will be doing handsprings on Utah's Capitol Hill this morning
Bad news for Utah civil libertarians this morning, as the Salt Lake Tribune announces that Utah civil rights attorney Brian Bernard, who's been a thorn in the side of authoritarian Utah lawmakers for over forty years, "passed away peacefully in his sleep in his home near the University of Utah over the weekend":
"It will be a long time before another Brian Barnard comes along in our profession," sez executive director of Utah Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake Stewart Ralphs, with masterful understatement.
Ralphs goes on to say that "Barnard used to joke that he loved the period following the end of a legislative session, when he would browse through all the laws that had been passed and see what new work might be in store for him."
"State statutes were one of his favorite targets," Ralphs adds.
Forty years of fighting for the US Constituion takes 'it's toll," People.
RIP, Brian Bernard.
