    Quite a few people hated Breitbart and he died at a very young age. An autopsy and probably a minor forensic investigation is not out of order.

    I didn't approve of much of his style, but he was an effective warrior against the enemy, so I'm sorry to see him go. People close to him seem to have liked him, but as with anything, it's hard to hate up close.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    Hating the man struck me as silly; he was a provocateur. Hating or adoring him was entirely in line with his act, his persona.

    As for cause of death, the #1 cause for men in their 40s is cardiovascular disease, and apparently AB already had heart problems. I'll just also say that in his bearing, his energy and his paranoia, he reminded me a lot of how people act when they are indulging in the byproduct of the cocoa leaf (which can exacerbate heart problems).

    I'm sure we'll hear more.
