"Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at Home
Sep 03 11:11 PM US/Eastern


WASHINGTON - Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died Saturday evening at his home in suburban Virginia, said Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg.

A statement from the spokeswoman said he was surrounded by his three children when he died in Arlington.

"The Chief Justice battled thyroid cancer since being diagnosed last October and continued to perform his dues on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days," she said.

Rehnquist was appointed to the Supreme Court as an associate justice in 1971 by President Nixon and took his seat on Jan. 7, 1982. He was elevated to chief justice by President Reagan in 1986.

Whether or not you hate Bush, his first nominee isn't exactly an extreme-right wing crazy nutjob. He's a decent judge and I'm sure the next nominee will be too

This Monday on the 700 club:

"Let us pray,

Quote :
"Dear Lord. You have answered my prayers. You have killed a Supreme Court Justice. No, it wasn't someone like Ginsburg, but you know what, there's still a few more prayers I could ask. We now have 2 vacancies Lord, and I thank you. Oh Lord, I know your power is immense, your abilities far more supreme than anyone on Earth. Now I ask for a 3rd vacancy. It's time for an old one to pass, someone like Stevens, or as I mentioned, Ginsburg. Maybe a bullet, a car, or even a disease, I don't care; just help a brother out. Also, please get rid of Hugo Chavez. How about a hurricane for downtown Caracas, or a special ops mission by our forces to get that done. Thank you Lord.
Amen
"

-Pat Robertson

I think Edith Jones, Edith Clement, or Janice Rogers Brown would be great! If he goes outside the judiciary, Harvard Law Professor Mary Ann Glendon would be the best choice!

The compassionate left, gotta love 'em.

May Justice Rehnquist rest in peace. He did his best to curtail judicial activism despite the odds he faced on the SCOTUS.

All I have to say is that the GOP and Bush had better move heaven and earth to confirm his replacement before Jan 2007

because they're sure as hell not gonna get SHIT after the new congress convenes

I would not be surprised if they try to get one immediately - like before First Monday. It would definitely be a rush, but I know Bush has to have thought about who he would nominate as Chief Justice.

I think the Democrats/Liberals are going to be in a bind now. What do they do if Bush nominates another conservative judge and they try and stall/filibuster the nominations? They are going to look even more obstructionist than they do now.

In that case, I'd advise them to investigate how and when the nominated justice uses his penis...
