Rehnquist's legacy

It's pretty early to tell, actually. Brannon Denning and Glenn Reynolds don't feel that he accomplished much toward his goal of limiting the Commerce Clause as a basis for passing federal laws that dictate to the states. These things take time to build a critical mass, but at least Bush is doing what he can to consolidate that legacy.

Alan Dershowitz said that Rehnquist's opinions are not taught in law schools, but that might tell us more about law professors than it does about the quality of his views.
