Nola.com: NewsFlash - Bush expresses sadness at Rehnquist death: "WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said late Saturday the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist was 'a tremendous loss for our nation' and issued a statement of condolence on behalf of President Bush.
Bush was notified about Rehnquist's death shortly before 11 p.m. It will be up to the president to nominate Rehnquist's successor on the Supreme Court.
'President Bush and Mrs. Bush are deeply saddened by the news' of Rehnquist's death, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said. 'It's a tremendous loss for our nation.'"
(Personal note: Obviously off the katrina topic, but such a major loss, even during these trying times. Blessings and thoughts to his family and to our nation.)
