What Rehnquist did
Who is John Yoo, himself a Bush lackey, to decide that William H. Rehnquist was “one of the great chief justices in American history” (Opinion, Sept. 5)? The Rehnquist court will be remembered more for the harms it prevented him from doing than for those he managed to push through. Unfortunately, he succeeded in the greatest travesty of justice of any Supreme Court -- the appointment of George W. Bush to the presidency instead of allowing a lawful election to take its proper course.
