Well, it depends. What style of betting do you want to do. We could do
a simple "in favor of the status quo" or "in favor of the rights team"
or we could do a spread based on the number of justices who are a party
to the majority and dissenting opinions. Or we could - and this is my
personal favorite - do like they do at horses races and (for example)
put 5 to 1 odds on Rehnquist being a part of the majority and 8-1 that
he writes the opinion. If we DO go that route, who here has the booking
experience to properly account it?
