Chief Justice Rehnquist's pallbearers included Judge John G. Roberts, who had been nominated by President Bush to fill the Supreme Court seat being vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Judge Roberts, who was once a law clerk for Chief Justice Rehnquist, has now been selected by the president to succeed Mr. Rehnquist as chief justice of the United States. Confirmation hearings for Judge Roberts will likely begin next week.

John Roberts helped carry the casket of William H. Rehnquist past Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and into the Supreme Court.

Justice O'Connor looks pretty upset. They were indeed great long time friends. Very rare.

[Rutles4Ever]

It's going to be hugh.

[Rodney King]

Funeral Bebins are sad.

[flada]

REHNQUIST'S FUNERAL BEBINS

My bebin is stuned.

[Mr. K]

The ceremony started with "In the bebinning..."

[alessandrofiaschi]

I told it to the moderator. I hope he will fix the title for me. Thanks.

[Red Badger]

What's a BEBIN?.......like a BEEBER?......

[savedbygrace]

It's not my thread, but out of respect for Chief Justice Rhenquist, I'd like to ask you to correct the title. please.

[flada]

I've always wondered if bebins are related to beebers, and if so are they stuned in the same manner?

[alessandrofiaschi]

Thanks to the Moderator

[AmishDude]

The two of them dated when they were both much younger. It's true.

[Borges]

They were 1 and 3 in the Stanford Law Class of 1952 right? I wonder who Number 2 was and how they feel about not making it to the Supreme Court.

Where is Souter????? I understand Kennedy is in China (accepting their generous $100K in disaster giving, I presume.) Souter is in New Hampshire I heard. Why isn't he paying his respects?

[savedbygrace]

I apologize for stepping on your thread with the same request. I hope you understand.

[NCLaw441]

It's not my thread, but out of respect for Chief Justice Rhenquist, I'd like to ask you to correct the title. please.

uh, Rehnquist, you mean, right?

i think it was James Rosen from Fox that interviewed her once and brought up the fact that they once DATED. Making a little joke, he asked something like was he a judicial ACTIVIST on the date or did he exercise judicial RESTRAINT. she kind of huffed a bit and said something like he had been a perfect gentleman.

[alessandrofiaschi]

what?
