No, not really. He is one of the well-known & respected FReepers and has been for a long time. That's why it surprised me that you'd never heard of him.

Yhis is what I posted earlier regarding Congressman Billybob:

In all fairness to Congressman Billybob, he is a very busy man and likely has not followed the case nearly as closely as many who post on these threads. That said, one ought to be very careful to rush to discount his opinion about this case.

He is a very intelligent and smart lawyer who is widely known and respected throughout the legal community. If I recall correctly, Congressman Billybob was invited by the U.S. Supreme Court to submit an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the Bush v. Gore case regarding the First Amendment issues and his brief pretty much served as the foundation of the USSC's decision and opinion.

Congressman Billybob is also part of a group of First Amendment lawyers that are working to get the unconstitutional campaign finance reform legislation declared unconstitutional.

When it comes to First Amendment issues, Congressman Billybob is THE MAN!
