Question

Suppose the Supreme Court justices vote on a decision in Franklin v. United States. The chief justice votes with three other justices in favor of Franklin. Who will write the opinion of the court?

Answer 1

The opinion will be written by one of the justices who voted with majority

Answer 2

Answer:

The Opinion will be written by anyone of the justices who vote in the majority.

Explanation:

Opinions are written by Justices within the context of a trial. Supreme Court Opinions are best known from cases in which the Court heard oral argument. They comment about the reasoning and judgment followed by the Justices to get to their decision.

Anyone can write the Opinion because it summarizes the idea of the entire bench. If not it would be repetitive to let all the Justices who are in favor to write down their opinions.
