...parking lot for political allies since its creation in 1979, FEMA had improved under the stewardship of Witt during the Clinton years. Staffed by disaster experts, it won bipartisan praise. Even Bush lauded Witt during a debate with Al Gore in 2000 for FEMA's skill at coordinating the resources Washington can bring to a disaster zone when adversity overwhelms local efforts...
...Terrorists quit only when they are tired, afraid or outgunned. And even then, there is always one terrorist who refuses to give up. So I am not applauding the i.r.a.'s announcement.

Outside law schools, the Rehnquist court will be remembered for its bitterly split 5-to-4 decision in 2000 in Bush v.

He could never muster majorities to overturn older liberal precedents such as Roe v. Wade, which prohibited states from outlawing abortion, or stop newer ones such as Lawrence v. Texas, which prohibited them from outlawing sodomy. Rehnquist also found himself in the minority when the court struck down school prayers at graduations and football games. Even so, when you look back to the ambitious goals the young Rehnquist set for himself...
