Breaking news.

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

How long does it take to appoint a new one (ballpark figure)?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

So if the Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court drops dead, will my thread be topped? Or the British Lord Chief Justice?
No, because your country is irrelevent - what was it's name again? Canadia or something?

Well, this is originally a USAmerican/Greek site...
Maybe if you ask nicely.
Edit: Asher already said it.

That would make the answer "yes" then, wouldn't it, because he could just make it so? Though, Canadia would remain irrelevent...Originally posted by Asher

Unlike the Reagan death thread...
I won't use this thread as an opprotunity to celebrate Rehnquist's death, nor will I say he's a racist, mean spirited, or that Strom Thurmond has a reach-around buddy.
I will respect teh dead.

How long has it been that the legislative branch held congressional mob democracy in check in the US? 150 years? 180?
I hope your kids can still read about that 'balance of powers' thing in their history books.

Where are you, Sandra?

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Deaths come in threes
No they don't. Deaths come in whatever order they want and desperate people try to put them together into 'threes'.
Btw, I think the replacement may be Gonzales. Bush may be figuring that with the fight over Roberts, he may be able to sneak Gonzales in.
