| | Rehnquist was at least a right-wing zealot who had a vision of the court that was based on states rights philosophy. | | | Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist, who died on Saturday night, spent much of his adult life trying to restrict the rights of American citizens and to empower further the already-powerful. | | | In the meantime, as Rehnquist's impact on America is considered, it ought not be forgotten--particularly at a time when we see how the poor of New Orleans have been neglected--that Rehnquist was at times all too willing to forget about the rights of those less fortunate than he. |

| | Even before becoming chief justice, often in lonely dissents, it was William Rehnquist who was most personally responsible for what is now called "the New Federalism"-- the revival of the ideas that judiciary should protect the role of the states within the federal system and enforce the textual limits on the powers of Congress. | | | One can hardly imagine a sadder end to the tenure of William Rehnquist than that his most prized and important contribution to constitutional law is aborted by a conservative Republican president and a Republican-controlled Senate. | | | With Justice Rehnquist's ascension to chief justice, the Rehnquist Court cabined Garcia's laissez-faire approach toward Congressional power with a series of "Tenth Amendment" cases that aimed at protecting state sovereignty from federal interference in a variety of ways. |

| | At a time when President Nixon's nominations for the Supreme Court were still totally unknown, somebody asked Assistant Attorney General William Rehnquist whether he thought he had any chance of getting the job. | | | When William Rehnquist was appointed to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon in 1971, he believed that the court was 'heeling' to the left and felt obliged, as he later put it, 'to lean the other way.' | | | Whenever Rehnquist departs, he can do it in the knowledge that the court he led is likely to be remembered as one of the most influential in American history--and not just because of the 5-4 ruling in Gore v. |
