'''William Hubbs Rehnquist''' (October 1, 1924 – September 3, 2005) was an Associate Justice of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] (1972–1986) and its 16th Chief Justice (1986–2005). When he began he was the only [[conservative]] on the Court (really more of a contrarian than a conservative), and he led the Court increasingly to the [[conservative]] side until his death in office in 2005. Before he died he was likely responsible for the appointment to the Court of his protégé and former law clerk, [[John Roberts]]. Though a lifelong evangelical [[Lutheran]],<ref>http://www.adherents.com/people/pr/William_Rehnquist.html</ref> Rehnquist received an extraordinary [[Catholic]] funeral after his death.<ref>http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0505067.htm</ref> His trademark judicial philosophy was to restore and advance [[federalism]], and was known as the "lone ranger" for his frequent solitary dissents which began nearly as soon as he was sworn in.
