Dissents sometimes become tomorrow’s majority opinion.
Justice Harlan was the sole dissenter in Plessy v Ferguson, where the SCOTUS majority held that separate but equal should prevail.
That all changed some 50 years later when Brown v Board of education reversed the Plessy Majority.
Dissents to Roberts’ votes will surely become law someday too.
