This is absolute nonsense. *Nothing* overrides the Supreme Court.


I don't believe this is true.

As I understand it, in an ideal world, the Supreme Court is supposed to
compare the facts of a case to the Constitution, or the body of law, and
render and opinion as to whether a particular position violates the
Constitution or body of law.

So long as the law itself doesnt' violate the Constitution, the Court must
find in such a way that the law is not violated.

Change the law and the the same case will generate a different result.

Not a lawyer...
