Vegas Would Probably Consider It A "Push"

It's been widely reported, in the various obits on Chief Justice Rehnquist, that he loved to bet on things, including, many reports have noted, elections.

My question is: in 2000, would he have collected from Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens and Souter, after Bush v. Gore? Doesn't quite seem fair when you get to decide the outcome, huh?

Maybe Rehnquist's bet is yet another reason why Bush v. Gore is one of the worst decisions in the history of the Supreme Court. He had a pecuniary interest in the outcome!
