      "title": "Selected Opinions of Chief Justice Rehnquist",
      "summary": "William H. Justice Rehnquist, appointed to the Supreme Court by President Richard M. Nixon,\njoined the United States Supreme Court as an associate Justice in 1972. In 1986, President Ronald\nReagan nominated him to replace Chief Justice Warren Burger, a position to which he was\nconfirmed by the Senate by a vote of 65 to 33. When Chief Justice Rehnquist died on September 3,\n2005, he had served 33 years on the Court.\n \n William H. Rehnquist had a significant influence over a number of issues during his years on\nthe Supreme Court. While he is most often associated with the Court\u2019s renewed interest in\nfederalism, he also made significant contributions in a number of other areas, including separation\nof powers, church-state, criminal law, equal protection and due process. While he was often a lone\ndissenter early in his career, his influence grew as the composition of the Court changed, and as he\npersuaded other Justices of the merits of his position, many of his views gained ascendancy.",
