I think some of Byrd's earlier views on gays and African-Americans are reprehensible, but like many Americans, he evolved and was able to redeem himself before his death.  His critical approach to the powers of Congress and the imperial presidency is one that so many lack today.  He was one of West Virginia's finest, and indeed, one of the Senate's finest.
