Proclamation by the President: Death of William HR Rehnquist
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

As a mark of respect for William H. Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 7 of title 4, United States Code, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, Tuesday, September 13, 2005. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

5. Didn't he order the flags at half staff for the 9 11 victims?

I am pretty sure he did and, if so, why not the hurricane victims?

7. Almost immediately, yes.

Pathetic that the Katrina victims don't deserve the nation's honor, huh?

6. What a bastard!

9. Half staff

I've been flying my flag from the beginning of the week at half staff for the Americans down south. After Rehnquist died it went back to full staff with the Gladson flag flying underneath.
