No. Only the President of the United States, or the Vice-President, if the President is incapacitated, has the Constitutional authority to issue "executive orders." The President is the head of the Executive branch of government.

No, states are not obligated to follow other states legal decisions; however, the decisions may carry persuasive weight with the court, assuming (for example) the Iowa Supreme Court ruling doesn't violate the Illinois state constitution or statutes.If Iowa is is the only other state court system that has addressed this PARTICULAR issue then the decision of Iowa's Supreme Court can be used as "precedent" for the Illinois court to follow. If there are other states that have addressed this PARTICULAR issue and they have either agreed with, or disagreed with, the Iowa court's findings, those decisions should be also be taken into account when the Illinois court considers the issue.

It originated the concept that former slaves, or descendants of slaves, could never be citizens and therefore couldn't bring cases before the court.

The most significant part of the US Supreme Court's ruling on the Dred Scott case was actually two-fold. The Court by a 7-2 decision ruled that slavery was legal and that Blacks could never be US citizens because they were not white. Their race made it impossible for them to be US citizens.

In the 1857 US Supreme Court decision that involved the Dredd Scott case, the Court stated the slaves were property and, also, they could never be US citizens. This pro-slavery decision would later require an amendment to the US Constitution in order to abolish slavery.

The US Supreme Court decision on the Dred Scott case affirmed that slaves were property. The court also ruled that Blacks could never be US Citizens. It took several Constitutional amendments to ensure that Blacks and other minorities had the same rights as white people. The 13th amendment abolished slavery totally.

Yep. The Dred Scott decision was all about how Dred Scott went with his slave owner up to a "free state" and stayed long enough to, technically, be free. He turned this into a court case and took it to the Supreme Court. They decided that he could never become a citizen because of his race, and could, therefore, never sue in court. The court justices thought in theory that slavery was protected by the constitution. (which it is absolutely not!) I hope this clears it up :]
The U.S. Supreme Court was originally created to decide the constituionality of laws. They are supposed to bring the case down to the basic question of law and then render a decision. So easy cases are never heard because the basis for decions has never been challenged because it is straight forward. The process to reach the supreme court is also lengthy. There are several appellate courts that the case has to go through to get to the phase where the supreme court can even consider it. Then they get to decide if the case deserves a review. Often times the supreme court renders decisions based on interpretation of law and that can be biased. Also social influences can have an affect on the outcome of cases. This is especially true in cases that involve terrorism. The only cases that the supreme court can render on as the first or original court are those cases involving disputes between states.
