Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80
After 33 years at the bench, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist has passed away at the age of 80 due to thyroid cancer. This comes after the retirement of Sandra Day O'Connor from the court over the summer. Rehnquist's passing gives President Bush the opportunity to replace the second justice of his term, this time perhaps to assume the highest role in the judicial system.

Wow. I know you're trying to make a point, but your spelling is really distracting -- especially when you turn Karl Marx into a woman! I'm sorry, but something had to be said.

Back when the court was something, they are the ones who told the police they must read rights to people. Back then, the courts said that people could not be taken by government for no reason. That government could not look at your reading list and label you as a terrorist because you read Carol Marx.
Actually, I heard she stole most of her ideas from her husband.

Funny that you mention that, there was actually a copy in your upper left desk drawer yesterday evening. We thought it was a little ironic, considering the situation.
