To be...or not to be...Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
To be...or not to be...Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
What does the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court actually do?
Frederic R. Abramson at his law blog Law, Current Events and Culture links to a somewhat unusual November 16, 2004 article by Dahlia Lithwick at Slate under the unnecessarily provocative title "Talk About Your Overrated Job: Why would anybody want to be chief justice?"
The article covers a current topic of great legal interest since present Chief Justice William Rehnquist may have to step down for health reasons, although no one knows this for sure.
See also in this regard the November 11, 2004 remarks of Theodore Olson at the CNN reported AP article "Former solicitor general predicts tough going for next justice." Olson is not an uncontroversial figure but is regarded to be among the top prospects for the position, should it become open.
