How can dissenting opinions play a role after a case is decided? Provide an example.
They write dissenting opinions when they disagree with the Supreme Court ruling. Not every Supreme Court ruling is unanimous. Some are by 5 to 4, or 6-3, or 7 to 2 or 8 to 1 majorities. Some cases are by other majorities if not all nine justices vote on the case. The minority justices, that is the dissenting justices, write their own opinion to state why the think the majority is wrong and what they would have ruled and why.
