About This Item
Threshold Editions, 2009, 2009. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Collectible, Fine/Near Fine. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by author. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine red pictorial dj. 280 pp. including index. First edition, first printing. Rehnquist -- who served as a Supreme Court justice for a third of a century and headed the federal judiciary under four presidents -- cannot be overstated. His dissenting opinion in Roe v. Wade, and his strongly stated positions on issues as various as freedom of the press, school prayer, and civil rights, would guarantee his memory on their own. Chiefly, though, William Rehnquist will always be remembered for his highly visible role in two of the most important and contentious political events of recent American history: the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in 1999 and the Supreme Court's decision that made George W. Bush the victor in the presidential election of 2000.
