No. The US Supreme Court (and all state supreme courts) only have appellate jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases. Their purpose is to serve as the final court of appeal for trials that have been held in the lower courts.
In addition, the US Supreme Court has complete discretion over the cases it chooses to review, and the matter before the Court must involve a preserved federal question of federal or US constitutional law or US treaties. State supreme courts also have a high degree of autonomy over the appeals they choose, although the state courts usually have mandatory jurisdiction over certain classes of cases, such as death penalty appeals (in states where capital punishment is still legal).

Why was the Supreme Court's verdict on the Federal governments lawsuit against The New York Times and the Washington Post so significant?
The Supreme Court's verdict on the Federal government's lawsuit was significant in several ways. First the lawsuit had to do with national security and the ability to keep certain issues secret when the US was at war in Vietnam. It was also significant in that all nine justices felt compelled to give their own reasons as to why they voted as they did. This is very unusual in itself. Also, it became clear that the ruling was in favor of the newspapers only because of the wording of the lawsuit. Their decisions clearly made it a situation that could have gone the other way in favor of the government if the lawsuit had been worded differently.
