[EL] A word about Richard Coleson

Very well deserved praise and recognition for Rich.  Thanks  Steve. 
 
Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery and I flatter Rich all the time.

I will second that. I had two of the greatest mentors any young  attorney 
could ask for in Jim Bopp and Richard Coleson. Congratulations to all  
involved.

With all of the debate going on about McCutcheon & RNC  v. FEC and its 
importance, I'd like to sound a quick note of  congratulations to Richard E. 
Coleson of The Bopp Law Firm, who has worked  for decades at Jim's side 
creating constitutional cases many cite as given.  


No locale in the United States -- and this is indisputable -- can be  
credited with originating the restoration of more campaign-finance speech  than 1 
South Sixth Street, Terra Haute, Indiana. If Jim Bopp can be seen as  the 
Chairman of campaign-finance's 3M Corporation -- and I believe he can --  
perhaps Rich Coleson is the quiet chemist who invented the Post-It Note. If  
Jim Bopp is campaign freedom's Steve Jobs, Rich Coleson is its _Jonny  Ive_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive) .
 


I realize this note of congratulations is a bit out of the way, and  some 
will inappropriately roll their eyes while reading it. But as more of  Rich's 
career is likely behind him than ahead, I think this note fitting,  and 
appreciate the opportunity to say so here.


Much was done by many in McCutcheon & RNC v. FEC. And the  case was aided, 
to one degree or another, by all involved. But I cannot let  the moment pass 
without tipping my proverbial hat to the hard thinking done  by Richard E. 
Coleson.
