The significance of it being unsigned is indicative of the absolute CONTEMPT the 4 dissenters held Roberts in at the time of the ruling. They didn’t even address him- it’s a protocol and respect kind of thing...

Not exactly sure....it was emphasized in Jan Crawford's piece. My guess is this. Dissent opinions are authored by a judge. Others can sign on or agree. Since this dissent was authored by all four, I'm assuming that's why it was unsigned. All four agreed and were in unison with the dissent. Purely guessing at this point.
