Well, I guess we knew it. Roberts is part of the consensus driven swamp dwelling crowd that supports the collective over individual rights and liberties.
Gorsuch is a justice and no one can tell him he cannot write his own opinion on any matter that comes before the court. No one. Not even our ever esteemed, beloved font of reason and wisdom - it's a tax - Roberts, may god never let him live down the indignity.
A legal decision is either right or wrong as judged by the constitution. If consensus ruled, a lot more decisions should be 9-0, rather than 5-4, because the differences would have been ironed out before the justices "voted". Our modern supreme court is about politics, not the law.
Does it matter?
I mean, does a concurring opinion carry any weight that a majority opinion does not carry? Is this just an ego thing, or are there actual legal ramifications?
Would that we still had Congressman Billybob!
