Online Casinos have Gonzales as Supreme Court favorite

Top 21 Online Casinos - Online Casinos have Gonzales as Supreme Court favorite

Bettors at online casinos and sports books across the United States and around the world are confident that Alberto Gonzales, recently named the U.S. Attorney General after an intense debate in Congress, is the front-runner to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

Last week, odds makers at online casinos listed Gonzales as 6-5 to get the nomination, but on July 13 many online casinos had Gonzales listed at 5-8. Behind Gonzales at these online casinos is Edith Brown Clement, with odds for her at online casinos doubling from 8-1 a week ago to stand as of July 13 at 4-1. Of all of the dollars which have been wagered at online casinos regarding the Supreme Court nominations, over 40 % of them have been put on Alberto Gonzales to win. 20.2 % of the dollars at online casinos have been placed on Appellate Court Justice Edith Jones’ chances, and 16.4 % of betted dollars at online casinos are on the aforementioned Edith Brown Clement.

Part of the reason bettors at online casinos are putting their money on Gonzales is the assumption that President George W. Bush will want to make a big statement during the remaining years of his presidency and nominate a Hispanic to the nation’s highest court. The chances for President Bush to do this during the last few years of his term in office grow as reports increase of Chief Justice William Rhenquist’s health problems. If the Chief Justice’s health worsens, many at online casinos and in the judicial world expect him to resign and leaving Bush with two seats to fill on the Supreme Court. Justice O’Connor’s resignation (effective when Bush’s replacement is named and confirmed) came as a surprise to many political analysts and online gamblers at online casinos, who had expected Rhenquist to retire due to cancer.
