I can also seriously dislike somebody and still see that they have a certain knowledge base.

That's what I was curious about. What specifically has he said that's blown you away, and made you think that this guy really is something special when it comes to the constitution? I've never seen it.

I know he likes to brag about carrying a small pocket edition of the constitution wherever he goes (he'll sometimes theatrically display it on interviews and such) though that seems to mainly be impressing him as opposed to anyone else.

Sorry I didn't understand your question.

When on the Senate Floor during debates a Senator will say something and Byrd will respond quite loudly, "THAT IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION" or " THAT IS NOT WHAT THE CONSITUTION SAYS."
Then he will proceed to pull out the well worn copy of the Constitution he keeps in his vest pocket, turn right to the exact page and paragraph in question. Everytime I have been watching he was always correct in his assertion
