Ms. Totenberg: I feel as if dissents are often considerably more sloppily and divisively written than majority opinions.Do you think such dissents are sometimes more honest explanations of how those Justices really feel (but would be hesitant putting into law as a majority)?

Have you ever noticed a Justice being in the dissent in one case, and then having the opportunity to write that opinion into a majority opinion some years later and realizing they need to tone down the rhetoric now that it's something lower courts need to follow?
