Chief Justice Rehnquist has died. George W. Bush and Pat Robertson get another chance to reshape the Court in their own image.
Rehnquist was certainly part of the reliable conservative wing of the court, but he was rarely as radical in his views as Bush icons Scalia or Thomas. Bush can replace the 80-year-old Rehnquist with someone much younger, who will steer the Court and the country for decades to come.
Confirmation hearings for John Roberts begin this week. Watch closely.
