Transitions: Chief Justice William Rehnquist
Chief Justice Rehnquist passed away at his VA home this evening succumbing to thyroid cancer.
He's been on the court since 1972, after being nominated by former President Richard Nixon. He was elevated to the Chief Justice position in 1986 by President Reagan.
Godspeed to the 16th Chief Justice.
