The Blog | Alan Dershowitz: Telling the Truth About Chief Justice Rehnquist | The Huffington Post
by Mike the Usurper at 2:54 am EDT, Sep 6, 2005

Rehnquist served on the Supreme Court for thirty-three years and as chief justice for nineteen. Yet no opinion comes to mind which will be remembered as brilliant, innovative, or memorable. He will be remembered not for the quality of his opinions but rather for the outcomes decided by his votes, especially Bush v. Gore, in which he accepted an Equal Protection claim that was totally inconsistent with his prior views on that clause. He will also be remembered as a Chief Justice who fought for the independence and authority of the judiciary. This is his only positive contribution to an otherwise regressive career.

He's not pulling any punches. Painful.
