Is there any advantage to being Chief Justice, or is that just an honorary title?

If the CJ is in the majority he/she can elect to write the majority opinion or choose who to assign it to.

The CJ also gets to preside over impeachment trials

Which may be of supreme importance when the next Democrat takes office.
