Chief Justice Won't Return to the Court This Year |
|
From the New York Times (Log in required):
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 - Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who missed the Supreme Court's November argument session while being treated for thyroid cancer, will be absent for the December session as well, the court announced on Friday.
Kathleen Arberg, the court's public information officer, said Chief Justice Rehnquist was continuing to receive chemotherapy and radiation treatments as an outpatient and was meeting with his law clerks and court officials at his home. Ms. Arberg said she had no information on when the 80-year-old chief justice might return to the court.
-----
This is serious stuff, leading to the true possibility he will resign at the first of the year. Say hello to Chief Justice Clarence Thomas.

8. If democrats do ONE thing this next four years |
|
it must be to block bush's nomination to the Supreme court. Unless Bush nominates a moderate they had better do whatever it takes to block.
