Can The Supreme Court can only hear mail fraud cases?
No, the Supreme Court does not only hear mail fraud cases. It has the authority to hear a wide range of cases, including those involving constitutional issues, federal laws, and disputes between states. The Court typically hears cases that involve significant legal principles or conflicts among lower courts. Mail fraud cases may come before the Supreme Court if they raise important legal questions, but they represent just a small fraction of the Court's overall docket.

What is the definition of Court of Appeals?
A court of appeals is a court of appellate jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a court of original jurisdiction. If I get in a car wreck and want to sue, I would file my lawsuit in the trial court (whether state or federal), a court of original jurisdiction. Say I lose. I get one appeal as of right to the court of appeals. In most states, that is called the court of appeals or appellate division (or the circuit court of appeals in the federal system) There judges would review my case to be sure the decision at trial was proper. If I lose again, I could petition my State's supreme court (or the US supreme court if I was in federal court) for what is called certiorari (which just means I am asking them to hear my case). The Supreme Court is not required to hear my case, but if they do, that would be the final word on whatever issue I presented to that court in most cases.

What court can hear appeals of US Supreme Court decisions?
According to Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution, no other court has appeal authority over the Supreme Court. "In all other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact..." The Congress, if it doesn't like a ruling, can try and pass legislation (laws) that will have the affect of overruling a Supreme Court decision, but it takes a long time (usually) and is not always successful. The Supreme Court could still declare the new law unconstitutional.
How can a state be forced to follow a Supreme Court decision with which it disagrees?
Just because the state doesn't agree, if the US Supreme Court renders a decision in your favor the state must comply! There is no higher court than the US Supreme Court - the state cannot file an appeal.
