Rest in Peace, Mr. Chief Justice

It's been reported that Chief Justice Rehnquist has died at his suburban Washington home, surrounded by his three children.
He was an honorable man and a worthy justice. My only contact with him was at a Christmas party at the Supreme Court in 1993; I will never forget him standing by the piano in a big room at the Court, leading the Christmas carol sing-along.
He stood for conservative judicial principles on the Court for many years. In the pre-Scalia and pre-Thomas era, he was often alone in his opinions . . . but he was right.
May God bless him and may he rest in peace.
