WHAT DOES HE EXPECT US TO DO ALL AUGUST?:
Rehnquist Says He'll Stay on Supreme Court (RON FOURNIER and GINA HOLLAND, 7/14/05, Associated Press)
Squelching rumors of his retirement, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist said Thursday he will continue heading the Supreme Court despite his battle with thyroid cancer. "I'm not about to announce my retirement," he said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press.Posted by Orrin Judd at July 14, 2005 10:32 PM"I want to put to rest the speculation and unfounded rumors of my imminent retirement," said Rehnquist, 80. "I will continue to perform my duties as chief justice as long as my health permits."
So, just out of the hospital the cancer patient says that he's going to serve as long as his health allows, and that should put to rest rumors of his retirement. Well, at least they don't save the special Lens of Obtuseness for their opinions.
