Even if he is more likely to be a Rehnquist than a Thomas, the downside of him being a Thomas outweighed the upside of him being a Rehnquist,

Charles Schumer

If he is a Rehnquist, that would not be a cause for exultation in my book, but it would not be a cause for alarm. The court's balance will not be altered. But there is a reasonable danger that he will be like Justice Thomas, the most radical justice on the Supreme Court. It is not that I am certain that he will be a Thomas, it's not even that it's more than 50 percent, but the risk that he might be a Thomas and the lack of any reassurance that he won't, particularly in light of this president's professed desire to nominate people in that mold, is just not good enough. I hope he will not be a Justice Thomas but the risk is too great to bear.

At that point, Roberts either has to join them, saying that Roe is good law, ... or he has to join the dissent of Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas, each of whom says Roe is an abomination and should be taken off the books.

This time, President Bush gave us a nominee who is Rehnquist-like, ... Next time, we expect the president to nominate someone in the mold of a Justice (Antonin) Scalia or (Clarence) Thomas.

The fight is over the next one. Roberts is taking the Rehnquist voting slot and no one worried about him being much more conservative than Rehnquist.

The O'Connor retirement was more important. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever. Replacing Rehnquist with Rehnquist junior means that the court runs in place.

It sounds like something Rehnquist would have written. William Rehnquist didn't believe there is a right to privacy either.

Chief Justice Rehnquist's gentlemanly demeanor showed that it is indeed possible to disagree without being disagreeable, despite the deteriorating cordiality of American politics. Chief Justice Rehnquist's standard is one that we, as a nation, should follow. President Bush now has the formidable task of selecting a jurist who will live up to this standard. Rehnquist's replacement should be someone who will follow the will of the Framers' as set forth in the Constitution, and should not attempt to legislate from the bench.

I took Thomas' passing pretty hard, ... The things that are helping us are to talk about Thomas, and to re-live his life. On the plane on the way home, we gathered a big group of us, and we just sat and rehashed everything we could remember about Thomas. There was just so much joy in his life.

[Rehnquist's death] is unlikely to make a lot of difference in the court, ... But over the long term, by replacing Rehnquist with another conservative, you lock in the court for 20 years.

I think John Roberts always was the front-runner for the Rehnquist seat. I would guess that Roberts has been the choice for some time. The only curve was that O'Connor was the person (to retire), not Rehnquist.

If you think about it, the successor to Sandra Day O'Connor should objectively be a lot more controversial than the successor to Chief Justice Rehnquist, ... The successor to Rehnquist . . . won't change the balance of power on these hot-button issues as might Roberts' nomination.

It was a gutsy move to bring Thomas back with six minutes left in the game. Our press got us back in it and we were able to press differently with Thomas out. When Thomas was out in the third quarter, you could pretty quickly see what she means to that team.

Chief Justice Rehnquist was brilliant at enhancing that position, and Congress has played a major role in adding to the authority of the chief justice. In many respects, Rehnquist changed the job, so that its breadth is greater than it has ever been before.
