Rehnquist forfeits what little credibility he ever had
If (heaven forfend) Bush v. Kerry goes to the Supreme Court, Rehnquist needs to recuse himself. Get a load of this, from the judgment in the pledge case:
Gee, the only "good for this day only" case that I can remember is Bush v. Gore, where Rehnquist voted for exactly this "novel principle."
Can these clowns really imagine that we don't keep close track?
[REHNQUIST] Although the Court may have succeeded in confining this novel principle almost narrowly enough to be, like the proverbial excursion ticket--good for this day only--our doctrine of prudential standing should be governed by general principles, rather than ad hoc improvisations.
