From before he came to the court, Rehnquist was a provocative,
pugilistic conservative. As a young man, he relished challenging
seemingly settled ideas: He defended a hanging judge and the vigilance
committees that substituted for conventional police in Gold Rush San
Francisco. He followed the misguided scholarship of his Stanford mentor,
Charles Fairman, who postulated that the 14th Amendment, which promises
all Americans the equal protection of the law, meant something other
than what it said. Rehnquist fired off self-satisfied letters to the
editor, did his best to keep Latinos from voting in Arizona, annoyed
Justice Robert Jackson, for whom he clerked, and argued for the
preservation of school segregation when Brown vs. Board of Education
came before the court.
