#1 ...At this point now, I suspect Chief Justice Rehnquist has been told his chances are not good. He has served his nation and the Constitution well and honorably, and I pray that he and his family be given comfort and solace in the most trying of times.
The thought occurs to me that in his illness, he may have done us one last service: perhaps holding on without aggressive treatment longer than he should have to avoid the vicious fight that would have erupted over his successor prior to the election.
