How did the nation respond to the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision?
The Dred Scott decision by the US Supreme Court weakened the case for those Americans that believed slavery had to be abolished. It strengthened the belief, held mostly in the South, that slavery was Constitutional. The South was elated, and Northerners who opposed slavery were shocked.
How was the dred Scott decision good?
The direct answer to the question is that the Dred Scott decision was good for slave owners. In a larger sense it was not good at all. The decision by the US Supreme Court was more important to the United States than it was to slave holder Dred Scott. This was so because in an 1857 Supreme Court decision, slaves in the United States, whether in bondage or freed men & women, could never be US citizens. This decision was a setback for the antislavery abolitionists and a victory of sorts for slave owners. Taken in its totality it was a setback for the United States as a whole. The above answer is correct, however, if there was "good" in the Dredd Scott decision it was that the US Supreme Court made it clear what its position on slavery was. Thereby giving opponents of slavery ground to stand on in their efforts to limit or abolish slavery.

Supreme court decisions can only be overturned by the court itself or by?
The Supreme Court cannot directly enforce its rulings; instead, it relies on respect for the Constitution and for the law for adherence to its judgments. Because the Supreme Court simply bases its decisions on the Constitution, the decisions are not overturned. The decisions simply uphold the Constitution but do not have outside enforcement.Added: Short answer: (in the US) The Supreme Court is the highest court in the nation. Its rulings cannot be overturned unless done by a subsequent ruling of the same court.
Was the abolition of slavery a US Supreme Court decision?
No. Slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in a joint effort between Congress and the states that ratified the amendment. A constitutional amendment is more powerful than a US Supreme Court decision, because it is not subject to change by the Supreme Court.
