    Condolances to this country over who will replace him...

    Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at Home

    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.

    So if the Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court drops dead, will my thread be topped? Or the British Lord Chief Justice?

    Maybe if you ask nicely.

    No. Because I will post about it a few seconds before you and mine will be topped.

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

    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.

    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.
