From Phoenix, Arizona to the Supreme Court
Rehnquist's journey began in a modest home in Phoenix, Arizona. His early life was marked by a deep fascination with history and law, a passion that would propel him to the highest court in the land. After graduating from Stanford Law School, Rehnquist clerked for Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, an experience that would profoundly shape his judicial philosophy.
Shaping the Conservative Movement
Rehnquist's appointment to the Supreme Court by President Reagan in 1971 marked a pivotal moment in American legal history. As a self-described "militant moderate," Rehnquist emerged as a leading voice of the conservative legal movement, advocating for a strict constructionist approach to the Constitution. His unwavering commitment to originalism, the belief that the Constitution should be interpreted based on its original meaning, became a hallmark of his jurisprudence.
The Chief Justice's Legacy
As Chief Justice, Rehnquist presided over a period of profound change within the Supreme Court. He played a pivotal role in decisions that reshaped American law, including the landmark cases of Bush v. Gore and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Rehnquist's tenure was also marked by his unwavering support for the institution of the Supreme Court, which he defended as a crucial check on the powers of the other branches of government.
A Complex and Enigmatic Figure
Beyond the courtroom, Rehnquist was a complex and enigmatic figure. A voracious reader with a love for opera and classical music, he maintained a private life that was largely hidden from public view.
