    Description

    Autographed FDC commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the American Bar Association
    Signed by William REHNQUIST Chief Justice of US Supreme Court
    Cancelled Boston, MA - August 24, 1953
    William Hubbs Rehnquist (October 1, 1924 – September 3, 2005) was an American jurist and lawyer who served on the Supreme Court of the United States for 33 years, first as an Associate Justice from 1972 to 1986, and then as the 16th Chief Justice of the United States from 1986 until his death in 2005. Considered a conservative, Rehnquist favored a conception of federalism that emphasized the Tenth Amendment's reservation of powers to the states. Under this view of federalism, the court, for the first time since the 1930s, struck down an act of Congress as exceeding its power under the Commerce Clause.
