Apparantly he has been going to court every day, despite his Thyroid cancer. He did not appear today, due to the illness. There is new speculation that he will soon retire, giving Pres. Bush a chance to appoint to supreme court justices.

Best wishes for recovery for Justice Rehnquist, and I hope that this new illness is not too serious.
