Rehnquist leads Supreme Court during 1987 88 term
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist emerged as the court’s dominant force in the 1987-88 term, authoring key decisions and casting fewer dissents. He backed independent counsels, CIA employment rules, and a major free speech case for Hustler publisher Larry Flynt over evangelist Jerry Falwell, while maintaining conservative leadership and positioning alongside Scalia O'Connor and White.
