Rhenquist Revolution -- To be continued?
This is an interesting piece on how Roberts analyzed an important decision on which Rhenquist had gained a majority only to have O'Connor and Powell defect rather than uphold original meaning Unfinished counterrevolution-The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Justice Rehnquist's death leaves only two originalists on the court. Even if John Roberts proves, once confirmed, to be as intellectually honest and courageous as his mentor, it would take two more originalists to complete the great dissenter's counterrevolution.
This is what rides on President Bush's next choice -- and the choice after that."
