"Out Of Step"

"Rehnquist just a mere image of Attorney
General Mitchell", said Mr. Lillich. "Would you
be happy to have Mitchell on the Court? In fact
its worse, because Mitchell would die in twenty
years", he said.

He continues, "Rehnquist is one of these
young nervous intense types, that feels he has
received the wisdom. He makes me nervous...He
approaches his constitutional law with a
feeling of infallibility ...Rehnquist is completely
out of step."

Mr. Alford stated that, "Overall, I'm
extremely pleased with these appointees."
Although he didn't know Mr. Rehnquist, he
said he felt that he was "well qualified."
