The Volokh Conspiracy » Robert Bork Remembered: "As John just noted, author Robert Bork, a former-Yale law professor, who also served as Solicitor General of the United States and a as a judge on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, died today at the age of 84.  He had been in ill-health for some time.  Bork flirted with libertarianism before becoming perhaps the leading advocate of judicial conservatism. Among his lasting achievements was the support he gave to some Yale law students seeking to found an organization called the Federalist Society."

I definitely see some aspects of constitutional law differently from how he did. Still, Bork is probably the public intellectual most responsible for my interest in the constitution and my eventual career path. Rest in peace.
