Most Chief Justices were brought on as such, as was Rehnquist.

Nope. Rehnquist was appointed by Nixon and later elevated to Chief Justice by Reagan.

I already had that corrected....thanks.

Still, he was the exception to the rule, as most chiefs are brought on in that capacity.

It makes me think that either Roberts will be brought on as chief or whoever gets the new vacancy.
