"As a lawyer, Herb Fenster defended Interior Secretary Gale Norton in Indian trust litigation.
He went to the mat with then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney over the sudden cancellation of a multibillion-dollar contract for the A-12 stealth fighter and won nearly $3.9 billion — the largest judgment ever entered against the government — for contractors who had worked on the craft.
His close friends include William Swing, the former Episcopal bishop of California, and he occasionally debates with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia over what it means to be a 'true originalist,' someone who interprets the U.S. Constitution in a way they believe its authors intended.
The Boulder Republican's next battlefield is Colorado's tax-limiting Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. By the end of the month, Fenster will sue the state in federal court over TABOR."
