WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 - Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who missed the Supreme Court's November argument session while being treated for thyroid cancer, will be absent for the December session as well, the court announced on Friday.
I truly doubt Rehnquist will be back. He's old, tired, and - now - sick. Look for Bush to nominate Thomas to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice. Then my money's on Ted Olsen to join the Court. The former Solicitor General is bright, articulate, familiar with those on Capital Hill, and has a rather limited paper trail (at least compared to most sitting judges).
