“The Rehnquist court ... attempted to restore dual sovereignty and the conception that states have functions that cannot be displaced by the federal government.”
Douglas Kmiec
“Person has the right not to recognize the sovereignty of the state and thus he has right to avoid the taxes. Human freedom is always higher than the sovereignty of the state.”
Ilkin Santak
“It's hard to imagine a choice more similar to Chief Justice Rehnquist than John Roberts. They both love the law and they both are among a handful of the most intellectually accomplished legal minds.”

“I think, actually, if you want to know where Roberts is on a lot of stuff, Rehnquist is a good place to start,”
Richard Garnett
“There is no doubt Rehnquist contributed significantly to IP, as to other areas of the law.”
Daniel E. Venglarik
“This term may be the end of the Rehnquist Court era.”
