Dershowitz on Rehnquist

[RJLipkin at aol.com]

I'm not a big fan of either  Dershowitz or how our memories typically falter 
when someone dies, but does  anyone have any information about whether the 
charges Dershowtiz  makes about Rehnquist's alleged anti-Semitism are true?  As a 
Jew, I  was extremely troubled to read the accusations.  If demonstrably 
true, they  contribute to a systemic alienation I've experienced since boyhood.  
If  demonstrably false, Dershowitz should be called on it. 
 
        Moreover, if true, I think  it's important to include the evidence in 
biographies of Rehnquist and it should  be studied to ascertain whether this 
demonstrable anti-Semitism (if and only if  adequately demonstrated) might 
have affected his career as a judge.
