Supreme Court back in action Su- preme Court returns Monday with an ailing leader, pressure to rule quickly on the constitutionality of federal prison sentences and a slew of contentious issues to decide, from medical marijuana to Ten Commandment displays. The most immediate concern is the health of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who was cancer diagnosed in October. He has been working part time at the court for more than two weeks but still is too ill to return to the bench. At 80, Rehnquist already was considered a top retirement prospect on a court that has had no turnover in a decade, a record. But justices try to time their departure's for the court's summer recess, to avoid 4 ties incases. Rehnquist's absence has yet to produce any tie votes. Even though he missed all the arguments in November and December, he has reviewed the cases and could vote if needed. "I suspect no matter what his health, he'll do whatever he can www.harktheherald.com ' P Gina Holland THE BIG ISSUE: The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on whether the system for sentencing federal defendants should be thrown out because it lets judges, rather than juries, decide factors that add years to prison time. COURT CHANGES?: Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in October and has been too ill to return to the bench. Justices John Paul Stevens, 84, and Sandra Day O'Connor, 74, are also considered possibilities to leave this year. with-thyroi- SENIOR MANAGERS HOME DELIVERY President 375-510- & Publisher Albert J.

South of Baghdad insurgents abducted and killed a Sunni Muslim official as he returned from a trip to persuade a Shiite Muslim leader to support delaying Iraq's Jan. 30 election. The airstrike by an 6 fighter plane early Saturday on the village of Aaytha, 30 miles south of Mosul, was part of "a cordon and search operation to force cell capture an anti-Iraleader," the military said in a statement. The satellite-guide- d bomb struck a house that "was not the intended target.... The intended target was another location nearby."

The conflicting death tolls could not be independently reconciled, and the military said an investigation of the incident was underway. Later Saturday, on the highway between Baghdad and the holy city of Najaf to the south, the body of Ali Ghalib, the head of the provincial council for Salahuddin province, was found riddled with bullets. Ghalib was abducted on the road Friday afternoon while returning to Tikrit from Najaf, where he had sought to persuade Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani to support a delay in the nationwide ballot, according to Shuaib Dujaili, a Tikrit official who had been traveling on the same road.

In early March, large crowds are expected when justices take up two cases that question the constitutionality of government displays of the Ten Commandments. The last major religion case was last year's challenge to the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Justices settled the case without ruling on the merits. March also brings a case that asks how U.S. authorities should deal with foreign nationals facing charges that could result in execution.

The attack was a grim reminder of differences among the various Sunni groups that oppose holding the ballot on province's northern reaches have been dubbed the "triangle of death" by Iraqi travelers because of the frequent attacks on the road through it. Insurgents active in the area include Sunni extremists who insist that democracy itself is an affront to God's schedule. Ghalib traveled to Najaf on behalf of Sunni political leaders who argue that violence in their areas much of it carried out by Sunni insurgents intent on thwarting an election that will likely hand power to the country's Shiite majority will prevent many Sunnis from voting A U.S. general this week acknowledged that four largely Sunni provinces lack the stability to carry out balloting.
