Chief Justice Rehnquist Interview

The interview is to promote his new book, Centennial Crisis. I like the Chief's sense of humor:

NYT: There is a forthcoming review in The Nation by Eric Foner, a professor at Columbia University.

WR: He's a recognized historian.

NYT: One of the things that he says about your book is that it is "an elaborate though indirect apologia" for the court's decision in Bush versus Gore.

WR: I really don't think they have anything to do with each other. But I'm glad to know the book is being reviewed someplace.
