WASHINGTON -- Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist has another degree -- and what presumably is his first connection to rocker Alice Cooper.
The 80-year-old Rehnquist was awarded an honorary doctorate in political science from Grand Canyon University, a Christian liberal arts college in Phoenix. Rehnquist, who has academic degrees from Stanford and Harvard, practiced law in Arizona's capital city from 1953-69.
Last spring, Grand Canyon University honored Cooper, a born-again Christian once known for shocking concert audiences with guillotines, fake blood and decapitated baby dolls.

Others receiving honorary Grand Canyon University degrees this year were radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger and performer Naomi Judd.
