The betting is that Rehnquist will refuse the obstructors' appeal since there is no legal basis for their claims.

The appeals court had sent a strong message to the Justice Department by
saying none of its nine judges available on the case wanted to intervene

The department's ''likelihood of success before the Supreme Court is
insufficient to warrant further delay in the grand jury's investigation,'' the
appeals court said.
