Sorry, forgot the link. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5254426,00.html He died at home from thyroid cancer. This was one of the judges that voted against allowing developers to seize private property.

That’s too bad… Besides honoring individual rights in those cases, He was also an ardent supporter of states rights. He certainly wasn’t the right person for some opinions; but he was damn sure on the right side of those! That’s ok though, I’m sure that we can count on peerless leader to pick someone moderate enough as to offend neither his hard line supporters, nor the screaming NNN (Nattering Nabobs of Negativity) of the minority opposition. </sarcasm> John King Moderate Independent

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rehnquist "Rehnquist also created a unique robe for himself as Chief Justice in 1994. It has four golden bars on each sleeve. In the past, Chief Justices had not dressed differently from any of the Associate Justices. Rehnquist’s robe was modeled after a robe he had seen in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta Iolanthe, first staged in London in 1882. "Rehnquist has also led the way in establishing more governmental leniency towards state aid for religion, writing for another 5-to-4 majority in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, 536 U.S. 639 (2002), approving a school voucher program that aided parochial schools." The Repair Guy http://repairguy1993.netfirms.com/
