William Rehnquist, R.I.P.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist died last night. The Wisconsin native was 80. He will be remembered for leading the court down a more conservative, originalist path and for presiding over the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton. He will also be remembered for his devotion to his job. He endured cancer treatments yet continued to work. He truly took his life appointment seriously. Godspeed, William.

Who will be the first to claim Rehnquist's death is part of a Rovian conspiracy to divert attention from "inadequate" disaster planning in Louisiana and Mississippi?

"Rehnquist is Dead at 80"
