10This is how I see it as well. Traditionally, Justices aren't allowed to write publicly during their term about cases, except in their opinion papers. So this is the dissenting justices' soapbox.– BarmarCommented Jul 2 at 20:56

11The fact that it's a dissent has no bearing on it's logical consistency with the majority's opinion, so while dissents in of themselves have no privileged interpretation, that's a moot point when the majority's opinion makes clear that constitutional rights of presidents are immune to the law.– spacetyperCommented Jul 3 at 6:16

2@spacetyper OTOH, the fact that it's published along with the majority opinion doesn't necessarily make it a true representation of what they intended. It's just another interpretation of the ruling. Trump's lawyer was interviewed this morning, he said there are other checks and balances that would prevent the SEAL Team scenario.– BarmarCommented Jul 3 at 14:39

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
