The death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist last night is a significant loss for the Supreme Court, the federal judiciary, and the nation. Chief Justice Rehnquist was an outstanding jurist who respected the written law above all else and applied it consistently and fairly. The Court’s quality would be much improved if there were nine Rehnquists on the bench, and his leadership of the Court and stewardship of the laws of the United States will be greatly missed.
