At least some viewed Morrison v. Olson (1988) and Dickerson v. United States (2000) as those kinds of Rehnquist votes/opinions for the Court.

Have there ever been rumors, or grounds for suspicion in other cases, that Rehnquist engages in the kind of strategic voting that Barry hints at?  I know there was reason to suspect that Burger did a fair bit of it; but however great my substantive disageements with this Chief, my impression of his character hasn't included a sense that he'd vote--and write--against his view of the merits to keep control of an opinion assignment.
