Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died Saturday evening at his home in suburban Virginia, said Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg.
A statement from the spokeswoman said he was surrounded by his three children when he died in Arlington.
"The Chief Justice battled thyroid cancer since being diagnosed last October and continued to perform his dues on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days," she said.
Rehnquist was appointed to the Supreme Court as an associate justice in 1971 by President Nixon and took his seat on Jan. 7, 1982. He was elevated to chief justice by President Reagan in 1986.

My prayers and condolences are extended to his family and friends. May they look to the Lord to find help and comfort in this time of need. Prayers also for President Bush as he searches for a sucessor in this most important job.

We need more people like him, ones that don't morph the Constitution to their own socialist ideals.

LOL! I was wondering how they were going to blame President Bush for this, too.

I still love his line to the Lamestream Media...
LSM: "Are you going to retire?"
Rehnquist: "That's for me to know and you to find out."

Almighty God,
we remember before you today your faithful servant William;
and we pray that,
having opened to him the gates of larger life,
you will receive him more and more into your faithful service,
that, with all who have faithfully served you in the past,
he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen
