In the case of Loving v. Virginia, the concurring opinion was written by Justice Potter Stewart. He agreed with the majority's ruling that Virginia's anti-miscegenation law was unconstitutional but wrote a separate concurrence to emphasize that the freedom to marry was a fundamental right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. He argued that the Constitution prohibits interracial marriage restrictions just as it forbids measures that discriminate based on race.

Douglas, emphasized the principles of equality under the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, arguing that segregation violated fundamental rights. The dissenting opinion, led by Justice Felix Frankfurter, expressed concern about judicial overreach and the potential consequences of the decision on federal powers. Ultimately, the Court ruled that segregation in D.C. schools was unconstitutional, aligning it with the broader civil rights movement.

A Justice may write a concurring opinion, which sometimes says "concurring in judgment only," if he or she votes with the majority but either disagrees with the logic used to arrive at the decision; agrees with part of the decision, but disagrees with another part; or wants to address relevant points not made in the majority opinion. When there is a clear majority opinion joined by a substantial number of Justices, concurring opinions can help strengthen a case and may be cited as precedent in future cases.Sometimes the court issues so many separate opinions that whichever opinion is joined by the most justices is referred to as a plurality, rather than a majority. One recent example of a decision holding a plurality opinion is that of Baez et al., v. Rees (2008), where Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy and Alito signed one opinion, and Justice Stevens wrote a separate concurring opinion, as did Justices Scalia, Breyer, and Thomas (Scalia also joined Thomas' concurrence). Justice Ginsberg wrote a dissenting opinion in which Justice Souter joined.There are also a number of cases where members of the majority each wrote a concurring opinion, without creating a unified majority or plurality opinion, as well as cases where the court decision was released without the signature of any justice, in an anonymous fashion. This latter form is known as a per curiamdecision. Bush v. Gore (2000) is a recent example. Cases decided per curiam do not create a precedent that can be cited in future litigation.Plurality and per curiam decisions tend to create confusion as to how a federal or constitutional law is to be interpreted.
