   LEE ALBERT, UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO, SUPREME COURT, APPOINTMENTS, PRESIDENT BUSH, REHNQUIST
   ...
   That was something that he initiated and was the principal moving force behind," says Lee Albert, UB professor of law.
   
   "He thought it was time for Congress to be reminded that there are states, and there are some things that states can do as well as, or better than, the federal government."
   
   Albert expects President Bush will look outside the current court for a chief justice to replace Rehnquist.
   
   "This will be a special appointment for Bush because he will not just be appointing a justice, he will be appointing a chief justice," Albert says. "One current justice might qualify as chief justice -- Justice Antonin Scalia -- but that would be far too controversial and I don't think Bush wants to pick that fight."
   
   Albert and most court observers speculate that at least one other justice will step down during Bush's second term, and that Bush will appoint a conservative justice in the tradition of Clarence Thomas and Scalia.
   ...
   There's no reason that would change when it comes to high court appointments," Albert says.
   
   Rehnquist also will be remembered for his dissent in Roe v. Wade.
   
   "Of course, he is identified as being staunchly against Roe v. Wade and its progeny," Albert says. "He was one of the two dissenters, and a strong dissent it was. He has been consistent on abortion since then.
   
   "His opinions in many areas reflect a narrow view of constitutional rights," Albert adds.
   
   Though consistently conservative in his opinions, Rehnquist has been "not a man of total predictability," Albert says.
