Rehnquist shaped conservative course of the Supreme Court
Justice William Rehnquist, who died at 80, steered the court toward conservative rulings on abortion, religion, affirmative action, and civil liberties. He led as chief from 1986, overseeing private meetings, rulings, and court procedures, with a legacy viewed as influential yet partly contested. His body will lie in state at the Supreme Court before burial at Arlington.
