An opinion is someone's thoughts and feelings on a subject. That opinion is said to be "valid" if there is good reasoning behind it, or if it's understandable that someone would feel that way. People often say "that's a valid opinion, but ..." to show they don't agree but they don't mean any insult to the other person and they're not wanting to get into a heated argument. Of course, whether someone's opinion is valid or not is also a matter of opinion.
A US Supreme Court justice who disagrees with the majority opinion writes a dissenting opinion, explaining why he or she disagrees with the majority.

A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable.

A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable. A good example is if you have 3 people. One of them wants a blue car, the other 2 want a red one. The majority is the 2 people who want a red car. Whoever doesn't want a red car, is the dissenting. (Dissenting is whatever isn't the majority) Search Dissenting Opinion for more details.
