[quote=Anonymous]1)  His name IS on all the decisions.  He is an active participant in all the decisions.  The Justices are assigned by the Chief as to who is going to write the Majority (which may become the minority over time as thinking developed)
2)  Some Cert. cases do involve all the Justices conferencing.  I was involving in one that was conferenced five times.
3) It is that much work.  A lot.  So much so that Justice Ginsburg falls asleep at oral argument:

The Justices' Caseload

The Court's caseload has increased steadily to a current total of more than 10,000 cases on the docket per Term. The increase has been rapid in recent years. In 1960, only 2,313 cases were on the docket, and in 1945, only 1,460. Plenary review, with oral arguments by attorneys, is granted in about 100 cases per Term. Formal written opinions are delivered in 80 to 90 cases. Approximately 50 to 60 additional cases are disposed of without granting plenary review. The publication of a Term's written opinions, including concurring opinions, dissenting opinions, and orders, approaches 5,000 pages. Some opinions are revised a dozen or more times before they are announced.[/quote]
