Chief Justice William Rehnquist was like a father to these United States. Among his plethoric accolades: he was the only sitting Justice to have voted in the legendary Roe v. Wade; he was one of two justices in history to preside over a presidential impeachment hearing that divided a nation; he helped reunite a divided nation by deciding the outcome of a presidential election; perhaps most nobatly, he championed the "One Nation Under God" approach to judicial responsibility, a righteous and noble effort no matter what one's stance on the cause.
The raging, shifting winds of change keep ripping away at the fabric of time. What's in store for this great Nation under God? I can't begin to answer that question, but I do know this: that one of the greatest men ever to grace this Earth has been called to service by God to watch over us all, and I will rest easy tonight with that comfort on my mind.
