Rehnquist episode is full of ambiguity
BUCKLEY from Page 4
have decided to emphasize the bad
character of William Rehnquist.
Here they have the difficulty of need
ing to deal with episodes 15, 20, 25
years old, concerning which there is
ambiguity as to the facts, and ambi
guity as to their meaning. If you were a
clerk writing a memo for Justice Robert
H. Jackson on the points in contention
in Brown vs. Board of Education, what
would you understand your responsi
bilities to be?
The drum in the backyard continues
to beat out the main point, that Reagan
is trying to "ideologize" the court,
ideologize being the word one uses
when someone attempts to shape a
court that respects the primary right of
the legislature to legislate. The anti-
conservative lobbies (People for the
American Way, the Supreme Court
Watch, etc.) are in high gear. But they
have their problems, primarily the notion
that it is not the American way for a
president to appoint to the court mem
bers whose views are harmonious with
his own. On the matter of raw qualifica
tions, Maggie Gallagher of National Re
view has put together a chart that han
dles the question neatly:
Myth No. 1: Reagan appointments
are of lower-than-average quality overall.
O Judges rated well qualified or
better (ABA rating): Carter, 55 percent;
Reagan, 52 percent; Nixon, 51 percent;
Ford, 48 percent.
Myth No. 2: Reagan has appointed
some completely unqualified judges.
O District Court judges with mi
nority not qualified rating (ABA rat
ing): Reagan, 3; Carter, 22.
O District Court judges rated not
qualified (ABA rating): Reagan, zero;
Carter, 3.
Myth No. 3: Reagan has appointed an
unprecedented number of judges.
O Presidential appointments as
a percentage of all federal judges:
Johnson (five years), 54 percent; Nixon
(5.5 years), 45 percent; Carter (four
years), 39 percent; Reagan (5.5 years),
36 percent.
So where do we go from here?
So. . .opponents of Reagan's appoint
ments are contending that they suffer
from a misinterpretation of history. The
kind of people they prefer are those
who invent history and interpret the
law. But, as the wise man said, history
is the polemic of the victor.

Letter
Parking is a problem
Okay, we realize it's only been
the first week of school, but we feel
compelled to comment on the off
campus students' worst enemy
parking.
It may seem that we are beating a
dead horse raising this issue, but for
those of us faced with traffic jams,
valuable time wasted and excessive
parking fines, it's a situation that
needs to be rectified. We recognize
that buying a permit from the uni
versity doesn't guarantee a parking
space. If $40 can get a car fixed,
then it should buy a parking spot.
We do not claim to have all the
answers, but we do feel that a park
ing garage on an existing lot andor
limiting the amount of permits is
sued would alleviate some of the
inconvenience. Thousands of stu
dents commute to campus every
day, and we know many of them
share our concerns. This is a solva
ble problem.
