Rehnquist creature of habit

Interesting profile piece on Rehnquist. They say he's a man of simple pleasures who enjoys competition and is a stickler for strict deadlines.

They also say he often keeps the best opinions for himself and that "his illness has not slowed his pace — he remains one of the fastest writers of decisions. It took him just a month to pen Tuesday's 9-0 ruling throwing out the conviction of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm for destroying Enron Corp.-related documents."

That being the case, what the hell is holding up the Raich decision? I'm beginning to think I should have bet more than fifty cents on my latest prediction.
