Supreme Court braces for a turbulent 2005 under ill Chief Justice
The Supreme Court begins 2005 with Chief Justice Rehnquist ill from thyroid cancer and a heavy docket. At eighty, he risks leaving the bench, with vacancies likely this year. Justices Stevens and OConnor also face possible departures. A key issue is whether the federal sentencing scheme allowing judges rather than juries to increase prison terms should be struck down, delaying many sentences.
