Rehnquist is dead (and I think Armando over at The Daily Kos summed up my feelings well today).
I wonder if Sandra Day O'Connor would now consider coming back as Chief Justice for real, which was what those senators proposed to her a few weeks ago (reportedly)? I made fun of it, but that would be a tremendous outcome. However, I'm sure Scalia would find a way to scuttle it.
Update 9/6: Alan Dershowitz gives Rehnquist the appropriate treatment here and meets with the predictable right-wing harassment, which apparently Rehnquist himself practiced in his younger days (surprise, surprise). I'm not the biggest fan of Dershowitz, but I admire him for setting the record straight.
