		Rehnquist was a little-known Justice Department official when he was nominated to be an associate justice on the court by President Nixon in 1971.
		After President Reagan elevated him to chief justice in 1986, Rehnquist strove to streamline the court's operations and reduce its case load.

		White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president had considered Roberts as a potential chief justice pick since the spring, when he and his top aides interviewed a range of judges and lawyers in anticipation of a possible retirement by Rehnquist, who was being treated for thyroid cancer at the time.
