If the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is part of the majority, he or she gets to write the opinion of the court; that is the majority opinion. Nevertheless, Chief Justices do not always write the opinion. The Justice may decides who writes the draft. He or she will play an important role in drafting the court opinion and could circulate it to the other Justices after he or she is satisfied with it.
