Summing up the thread.

It's open season on many "controversial" issues that the Supremes will now be able to revisit, thanks to Bush being able to appoint two justices this year. The politics of this kind of "justice" are despicable.

That said, I've heard a number of people speak about Rehnquist as a smart, funny man who ran the court efficiently. I wonder if his character will surface later or be lost forever in the face of the damage he did with the Bush V. Gore decision and others?
