O'Connor: Rehnquist was 'a betting man'

Rehnquist's humor, sense of duty hailed, as well as his wagering ability, apparently.

In her eulogy, O'Connor also referred to Rehnquist's last days.

"The chief was a betting man," O'Connor said. "He enjoyed making wagers about most things. The outcomes of football or baseball games, elections, even the amount of snow that would fall on the courtyard at the court. If you valued your money, you would be careful about betting with the chief. He usually won.

I'll...er...bet.
