What happens when the supreme court refuses to hear an appeal for a case?
When the Supreme Court refuses to hear an appeal for a case, it means that they have denied the request for review. This denial does not establish any legal binding or precedent, and the decision of the lower court stands. The denial by the Supreme Court does not provide an explanation or indicate agreement with the lower court's decision.

How can supreme court decisions be overthrown?
Court decisions can be overturned by higher courts, with the highest being the Supreme Court. Once the Supreme Court has issued a ruling, it can only be overturned by another Supreme Court ruling if the court agrees to hear that case or a similar case again. It is also possible for Congress to pass a law or constitutional amendment (with the help of the states, which must ratify any amendment), which can effectively overturn a Supreme Court decision by altering the law on which the decision was based.
Does Obama have any control over when supreme court hears case on Obama-care?
The Supreme Court heard and decided on the Affordable Care Act in July 2012, but presidents have no control over when or if the Court will hear a case. That is totally the Court's decision, as part of our government's separation of powers. As it turns out, the Court decided to hear a challenge to the act, but it wasn't till the end of this current session that they finally ruled on it, deciding it was in fact constitutional.

The supreame courts usually what kind of cases?
There is no telling which case or what kind of a case the Supreme Court will hear. If a case is simple, it never will get to the Supreme Court. Cases that reach the Supreme Court have gone through one or more appeals processes. Sometimes a appeal reaches the Supreme Court when a federal court of appeals has made a ruling different from another federal court of appeals. In that case, the supreme court is asked to certify an issue. That is a fancy term meaning to play referee. The Supreme Court certifies an issue when it takes up an issue where district courts of appeal have made different rulings concerning the application of the same law. (Sometimes the Supreme Court refuses to take up the issue. In that case it simply states, "Cert. Denied.") Normally, all cases that reach the Supreme Court have come from the Federal Courts of Appeal or the Highest State Court. However, the Supreme Court reserves the right to sit as a court of original jurisdiction. The last time the Supreme Court granted a writ of Habeas Corpus was 1924. It retains that right. I doubt if any member on the Supreme Court has any idea under what conditions that would happen. Still, it retains that right.
What cases are heard in the supreme court?
The Supreme Court decides cases that are appealed by a lower court; a lower court has made a decision and one of the parties feels strongly enough that the decision was wrong that they make an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reviews the cases and determines which ones they will hear, they have the ability to decline to review a case. The Supreme Court doesn't hear only appeals, there are situations where it is the court of original jurisdiction. In situations where there is a disagreement between states, the Supreme Court has the authority to decide.

How many supreme court judges have hear a case and appeal it?
Most cases are heard by the full Court of nine justices. However, in the even of an emergency, the Court can hear any case with a minimum of 6 judges. If a tie were to happen, the decision would side with what the lower court had decided. As in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, when 8 judges were present, ties rarely happen in this situation.
