OT - RIP, Chief Justice William Rehnquist
1924 - 2005
[ WASHINGTON (Sept. 3) - 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 duties on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days," she said. ] |
I bet the Liberals are just chewing nails...Since GW gets to name
another conservative to the high court...and possibly a third over the next year or so.. Perhaps we can finally UN-FUC# this place after 40 years of liberal reign. al in Colorado Conservative and damn proud of it! |
I don't think the liberals could care near as much as they did when O'Connor
left, a supreme court vote is ye nay not 95 % conservative vs. 85 % conservative. Renquist was straight conservative he'll be replaced with the same, it's a wash. O'Connor was moderate and probably replaced with a conservative. C. wrote in message oups.com...

With his vote supporting the taking of private personal property for
the development of housing and shopping developments, I bet there are lot's of good conservative republicans that wish he had passed a couple of months earlier |

More impressive, is his addition of those cool stripes to his robes ;-) |

As I expected. Rehnquist hung on to power regardless of increasing
incapacities until he croaked. This is typical of a lot of people in powerful positions. They will do anything to keep power and they refuse to hand it over to anyone else regardless of how decrepit and incompetent they are. I'm sure that the Founding Fathers didn't have it in mind that the lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court would mean it would be full of geriatric cases. Back in the 1700s lifetime meant less than 50 so I doubt they thought anyone would be on the court for more than 20 years at most. There's an amendment to the Consititution that should be made, shortening the tenure of a Supreme Court Justice to fifteen or twenty years at most, not something stupid like banning flag burning.

Who in power follows the Constitution anyway? Oh, to be sure, they let us hold "erections" every two years, but do you really think they'd leave quietly if we voted them all out? -jc- |

While my deepest sympathy and condolences go to the Rehnquist family, this again points up a potentially fatally flaw in our judicial process. The time has come for annual mental and physical evaluation of (at least all Federal) judges over the age of 65, with mandatory retirement if they are not 100%. |
