I believe that had Senator Thompson declared himself for president sooner in 2007 he might have won the Republican nomination and saved us from Obama. May his soul rest in peace.

Yes and an icon from Law and Order.
He struck me as being a very decent man. He certainly had a rich and varied life.

Interesting that his early AP obit doesn’t mention role as counsel on Watergate committee.

Damn! I really liked his character on Law & Order, and he was a fair senator.
Weird coincidence, I just watched him on a Netflix Good Wife DVD episode. He played a lawyer who represented Hugo Chavez, quite a good episode!

73 is way too young.
Rest in Peace.
Before Fred Thompson became a Senator, he was already one of the 'good guys':
"In 1977 Thompson represented Marie Ragghianti, a former Tennessee Parole Board chair, who had been fired for refusing to release felons after they had bribed aides to Democratic Governor Ray Blanton in order to obtain clemency. With Thompson's assistance, Ragghianti filed a wrongful termination suit against Blanton's office. During the trial, Thompson helped expose the cash-for-clemency scheme that eventually led to Blanton's removal from office."
That was one big fat Tennessee 'RAT that Fred helped get rid of.
Thank you for that Sir.
