Law - More news about Chief Justice Rehnquist's illness
Jan Crawford Greenburg of the Chicago Tribune reports, in a story today headlined "Cancer to keep justice off bench indefinitely," that:
Chief Justice William Rehnquist said Monday that he was receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments for his thyroid cancer and would not be returning to the Supreme Court as soon as he had planned, indicating he may have one of the more aggressive forms of the disease and raising questions about his future on the court.Rehnquist said in a written statement that his doctors had told him his initial plan to return to the court Monday was "too optimistic." He said he would work on court matters at his home and stay in close contact with the other justices, law clerks and the court's staff. He gave no indication of when he might be able to return to the bench.
