Chief Justice William Rehnquist just died!

[kcvl]

Per CNN...

[trussell]

My pleasure...he was a good man...he will be missed.

[Soul Seeker]

Are they replaying Susan's segment now, or did she forget what she said a few minutes ago and go back to her talking points? LOL

[Crooked Constituent]

NOMINATE JANICE ROGERS BROWN!

ELEVATE SCALIA OR THOMAS TO THE HEAD JUSTICE POSITION

[alancarp]

Agreed, and the list of those who might be promoted straight to the top job is exceedingly short for the reasons you suggest. The only names coming to mind at the moment are Olson (possible), Starr (not possible), and Bork (monumentally impossible, but wouldn't you like to see it happen!).

And with that, I bid the Rehnquist family my best regards and thanks for lending American such a fine man. Godd night, all.

[VictoryGal]

Rest in peace, honored soul.

[AliVeritas]

LOL
I nominate the kid who took the bus and got folks out.

Dan Rather must be going insane not to be the anchor right now.

I, on the other hand, am dancing a jig (because he's not at the anchor desk).

[msnimje]

Judge Roberts doesn't have the horsepower to be named directly as Chief.

Thank you for the information. I didn't think he would but have heard it floated around tonight so it got me curious about the process.

Who do you think the new Chief will be? Judge Bork? Carl Rove? Laura Bush? Hehehehehe

[AliVeritas]

Not to mention Rove.

[AliVeritas]

Congressman, can a few of us get together and do a thread of ops links on a certain subject you have been working on?
Will freepmail.

[mafree]

Hey Laz! Wanna be Pope and Chief Justice too?

BTW, condolences to the Rehnquist family. May he rest in peace.

[Shortstop7]

I'm not sure........I can't figure it out. She's babbling on about what a wonderful woman she is.......lot of smoking going on.

[FreeReign]

Hey, there's never just one holdup in the Bronx... are you trying to ruin our reputation?

I favor Brooklyn. Many fights braking out there.

[AliVeritas]

Forgot...crack does that

[penowa]

You can't even give Dershowitz credit for thinking up the accusation of Rehnquist being an "activist." It's just one of the Democrat talking points that Leahy, Schumer, Kennedy, etc. have all been spewing since S.D. O'Connor announced her retirement. I assume they think they can confuse people by reversing the meaning and switching the definition of an "activist judge" with a "constitutionalist."

[Christian4Bush]

I know its been a wild ride....its effected my sleep and quite frankly my emotions have been stretched also....actually I should go to bed and here I sit, at my keyboard

I know how you feel. I can't tell you how many nights I was up posting here at FR into the wee hours during the campaign...and on Election night, as were many of us, I was up until almost 2am on the Left Coast, with a 5am wakeup. It took me a while to recover from the sleep dep, but rather it result from good news!

Hang in there, and get some sleep. We do what we can before resting, handing off our cares to the One who never sleeps.

[Lily4Jesus]

what a fool she is.

[Brimack34]

Chief Justice Mark Levin. Or David Limbaugh.

[2rightsleftcoast]

Ted Olson for Chief Justice.
The kid who took the bus and drove the people
to safety should be immediately sworn in as
the new Mayor.

[Christian4Bush]

BUMP this graphic.
