Does the US Supreme Court hear cases about issues that deal with the US Constitution and federal laws?

Answer 1

The answer to this question regrettably is not really amenable to a yes or no answer. In order to avoid confusion, the position is as follows : -

The constitution of any country is the grundnorm or the supreme law of the state. Accordingly, where there is any doubt as regards the law whether statute or case law, it is the duty of the courts to interpret the law in accordance with and in the light of the constitution. There cannot be any inconsistency between any law of the U.S. and the U.S. Constitution and this extends right down to laws at the local level. Since there is a hierarchy of courts it follows that the lower courts will always take this into account in making decisions. Where however there is a dispute as to the correct interpretation of the law then the onus is on the supreme court to decide. It is the final arbiter. To that extent the Supreme Court can be said to have the final word. By the way the Supreme court is the highest Federal Court.

The procedure is the same in most countries and is consistent with the constitution of all federal states.

This is a broad answer but I hope it is of some help.

I agree. For the question asked, the answer is appropriate.

The specific issue must be able to be viewed under the federal scope of subject matter jurisdiction to establish it power to take jurisdiction and venue. Without any more specificity, it would be a waste of time to further elucidate a more appropriate answer.

Answer 2

Yes. The US Supreme Court hears cases involving the US Constitution, federal law, disputes between the states, and US treaties.
