	William Rehnquist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Hubbs Rehnquist (October 1, 1924 – September 3, 2005) was an American lawyer, jurist and political figure, who served as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1972 until 1986 and as the 16th Chief Justice from 1986 until his death in 2005.
		Rehnquist moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he was in private practice from 1953 to 1969.
		Rehnquist was the first Supreme Court justice to die in office since Justice Robert H. Jackson in 1954 and the first Chief Justice to die in office since Fred M. Vinson died in 1953.

		When dissenting, Rehnquist has made his most telling points in opposition to the majority's efforts to enact "desirable" social policy with little support from the constitutional or statutory provisions they are supposed to be interpreting.
		During the 1987 term, Rehnquist also showed that he could be flexible, joining with the more liberal justices to subject the dismissal of a homosexual CIA agent to judicial review and to support the freedom of speech claims of Hustler magazine to direct off-color ridicule at a public figure.
		Rehnquist continues to be an effective manager whose humor and fairness have contributed to the cordial relations among the justices.

		Rehnquist's death comes as the Senate is preparing for hearings on President Bush's nomination of John G. Roberts Jr.

		Rehnquist gave a speech blasting Warren and Justice Hugo Black as "left-wing philosophers." He published a magazine article blaming the Warren court's liberal drift on the "political cast" of the justices' law clerks.

		William Rehnquist began his career as a Redemptionist, determined to save the states from the expansion of federal authority in the New Deal and Second Reconstruction, and remained one all his life.
		Rehnquist was interested in asserting state authority as against the Federal Government and governmental authority as against the individual, as a rule.
		The Rehnquist definition was in a memo he sent to the White House when he was an Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel and was vetting Judge Clement Haynsworth.

	Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist Scolds Congress on Sentencing AP 1jan04
		Rehnquist, who heads a group of 27 judges that in September called for a repeal of the law, spent much of his annual report criticizing lawmakers for approving legislation that severely limits the ability of judges to hand down lighter sentences than what the federal sentencing guidelines call for.
		Rehnquist said he was particularly troubled by that requirement, since it collects information on an individual judge-by-judge basis.
		The legislation, enacted last spring as a little-noticed amendment to the popular Amber Alert child protection measure, "could appear to be an unwarranted and ill-considered effort to intimidate individual judges in the performance of their judicial duties," the chief justice said in his annual year-end report on the federal judiciary.

		During his tenure, he drafted a memo for Justice Jackson that stated racial segregation in education was "right and should be affirmed." The memo later became an issue during his Senate confirmation hearings in 1971, where he argued that he had drafted the document to express the views of the justice and not his own.
		Two years later, President Nixon nominated Rehnquist to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court, filling the seat vacated by an ailing John Harlan.
		Defending Rehnquist ahead of his confirmation to the Supreme Court in 1986, Senator Orrin G. Hatch insisted that the dose level had been set by doctors.

		Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist was admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital on Friday, October 22 and underwent a tracheotomy on Saturday in connection with a recent diagnosis of thyroid cancer.
		Justice Rehnquist's tracheotomy [also called tracheostomy] was prophylactic: that is, it was done to prevent a catastrophic tracheal narrowing and/or collapse which could result in respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, and death.
		It's a surgical procedure, often performed under local anesthesia with the patient awake (very likely the case with Rehnquist) in which an incision is made in the front of the neck, enlarged down to the trachea, and then continued through the front wall of the windpipe.

		Rehnquist does a good job of explaining the politics behind FDR's court packing plan in the 1930s, and the Steel Case that came before the court when he was a clerk in the early 1950s.
		Rehnquist does not re-examine facts or laws in most cases, but at times he suggests that the Court's behavior was not as rational as it might have been.
		In sum, Rehnquists shows himself to be an able story-teller, fairly lucid in his arguments, devoted to his subject (the history and everyday workings of the Court), and credible as a historian.

		It is way past time for Justice Rehnquist, the other Justices on the Supreme Court, and judges throughout America to be taken to task for their continued abuse of the wording and history of the Establishment Clause.
		If Justice Rehnquist is going to use the record of history as a means for establishing his position, he should at least be honest and accurate in his use of history, including the unanimous opinions expressed in Reynolds and Everson.
		Justice Rehnquist does not point out that this committee rejected all of the variously worded proposals which had been offered previously on the floor of the House, and in the Senate, including Justice Rehnquist's preference for the word "national" prior to religion.

		An intensively hard worker; always thoroughly prepared for oral argument; intellectual, literate, and scholarly; ever ready with precise, quick, often difficult and trying questions for fellow Justices, Rehnquist is a formidable and predictable advocate for his ideological view of the Constitution and the role of government thereunder.
		A committed and consistent adherent to Federalism, Justice Rehnquist will ride close and frequent herd on what he views as the intrusion of the national government on states' rights.
		Devoted to the principle of deference to the other two branches of the government, especially the legislative, he is the Court's most consistent and most articulate exponent and defender of judicial restraint.
