At her swearing in, her acceptance speech told the Dumbos in Congress Exactly where she stood and put them in their place. Of course she told it in a nice way... so don't know if any of them will be able to grasp it.

Collins is in a tough spot because of her vote for Kavanaugh. Tens of millions of dollars have been spent trying to unseat her. McConnell likely knew he didn't need her vote and wants to salvage her campaign to help hold the Senate. I'm sure he gave her the green light. This right here. Very strategic.

Her actual knowledge of the Constitution and the true intent may intimidate Roberts to the point he may concede the writing of majority decisions to her.

white, How is it decided who casts what vote? Couldn't what you describe be the same for the other Justices?
I need a refresher I reckon. Each justice has one vote. Whichever group has the majority....5 or more.....that is the side that writes the opinion and their view is the law. Is that what you are asking ? They can each vote however they want but only Roberts OR Thomas will decide who writes the opinion for the majority. If Roberts votes with the minority..he does not have a say in who writes the opinion. That is up to Thomas

The Chief Justice is appointed by the president and the chief appointment is lifetime.
After Rehnquist passed away(the former chief) Bush appointed Roberts to fill his open seat and appointed him as chief. I don't think bush had to appoint Roberts as chief but he chose to instead of an already sitting justice.

My understanding is that each justice retains the the right to offer a dissenting opinion if they so choose, as does the minority side. I believe that even a justice on the majority side could offer an opinion if he or she feels it pertinent to offer a differing route or legal basis. That's correct. Each justice MAY write a dissent or a partial concurrence. But the protocol I described above is in place to prevent the following. Suppose again that the 2A case is decided 5 conservatives and 4 liberals.........with Roberts voting with the libs. Under no system of rationality, fairness, equity, morality, etc........ SHOULD the chief justice on the LOSING side, either write or appoint someone to write the majority's opinion. We can easily envision Roberts choosing the weakest justice in the majority, or even one of the lib justices in the minority, to write for the majority. That would obviously cause nothing but turmoil down the road
