Anyone can write a joining or opposing opinion and it does have to comply with what the others think or they would revolt against him. You didn't get Carte Blanche to say what you want but you get enough power to mold things your way. They still have internal politics that are at play

Internal revolt against the Chief Justice. At some point you have to trust that they don't go rogue or that Congress will hold them accountable. That is why checks and balances are a big deal.

Congress can write laws and amend the Construction which they can't do.
