You will be reading an article from the New York Times discussing the appointment of Rehnquist to this position. Read the article, then write a one page reaction to the article. Do NOT simply tell me what the article said. You may use a maximum of two one line quotes. Give a reaction of how the article made you feel about Rehnquist, President Reagan, or both.
Many politicians come from the world of law.
In fact, most United States Senators are lawyers, and many U.S. Presidents have come from law school. Only one President has ever served on the Supreme Court, though. After you have finished reading, on a piece of paper write down what you think this court case did. After you do this, go to your textbook, look in the index, and find Plessy vs. Ferguson. Look up what it really did.
