I believe that William Rehnquist was our Chief of Justice, who replaced him?

The short answer is that John Roberts is the new Chief Justice of the United States.\n\nThe long answer?  John Roberts was originally nominated to replace retiring Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.  When Rehnquist died in office, the President changed Roberts' nomination papers to fill Rehnquist's seat instead.  The President then nominated Harriet Miers (who would withdraw) and Samuel Alito to the remaining seat.

HE IS a lame duck and has no meaning whatsoever.  The law has to be changed so when there is a shift in power the pres. should be changed also so we can get some good work done.

Whoever the President chooses. Traditionally, it is the Chief Justice. In fact, it doesn't have to be a member of the supreme court, just a federal judge (Johnson was sworn in on the plane to Dallas following Kennedy's death by a Sarah T. Hughes, a federal judge).\n\nDuring the last inauguration, it was widely believed that Chief Justice Rehnquist would not be available due to his health, and there were plans to have Justice Scalia or Justice Thomas administer the oath.

I'm not sure if you can find this information easily (maybe if you call your local Republican or Democratic party headquarters or your local courthouse?).\n\nRegardless, hopefully the Judge hands down his ruling independently based on the evidence and precedent, not his political leanings.

Either way, he is likely to be confirmed.  While he is a Republican, he is not a zealot.  He has proven in the past that he can work with both parties.  He is probably a very good choice.  This is the first replacement, but probably not the last, that Jim Baker will ask the President for.

hurray for Scalia. About time some common sense came to the court. Hope we can get alot more like him in there.  Get back to following the constitution and not the whim of justices like Briar and Ginsburg.

Thank goodness for the Rehnquist court. Without their decisions in the Lopez and Morrison cases, we'd be living in a nightmare police state to rival the Soviet Union in their KGB days. Further proof that liberalism is communism at it's finest.
