WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who quietly advanced the conservative ideology of the U.S. Supreme Court under his leadership, died Saturday evening. He was 80.
The justice, diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had a tracheotomy and received chemotherapy and radiation as part of his treatment.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Rehnquist had "continued to perform his duties on the court until a precipitous decline in his health the last couple of days."
Then with his three children beside him, the justice died at his suburban Arlington, Virginia, home, the court spokeswoman said.

Фишка в том, что эти двое могут продолжать быть судьями когда и Буша-то в живых уже не будет. Long-term investment, так сказать
