William Rehnquist Has Passed On

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist has passed away from complications with thyroid cancer. He was eighty years old.

He will long be remembered for his conservative views and his determination to adhere to the US Constitution. His legacy is that he was a judicial originalist who led in the fight to strike down any law or ruling which did not comply with the original intent of the written Constitution.

Thank you Mr. Chief Justice for your long years of service and hard work.
