He's not dead yet
The anxious wait for the resignation of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist continues.
Maybe he will resign presently, and maybe he won't. (Except for him, who knows?) But if not, we can't blame the old guy for holding on. The U.S. Supreme Court, having gathered to itself breathtaking power, is now the most important organ of the Federal Government, and serving on it, especially as chief, is a Big Deal; accordingly, I can easily imagine Rehnquist deciding to stay in office until he's removed by the mortician. In his shoes, it's what I'd do.
