“The dissent is unsigned because Roberts wrote it - it was originally to be his majority opinion. When he switched sides, the conservatives left most of it in place and didn’t sign their names to it to give a clue that it was originally his opinion.”
Bada bing* Exactly
Do the opinions have dates on them - dates when they were written? Or do they all just have the date that the decision is made public?
If Roberts did write the “dissent” when it was supposed to be the majority opinion, then this reporter is pulling our legs when she says that the dissent doesn’t address the majority opinion because the people who wrote it didn’t even want to engage with Roberts.
But some have said that the dissent has stuff that really sounds like it came from either Alito(?) or Kennedy.
I wonder exactly what happened.
