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.

∙ 14y agoThe usual progression through the federal court system is District Court verdict appealed to U.S. Court of Appeals for the [Appropriate] Circuit, which is the appeals court just below the Supreme Court. From there, the party that loses at the Circuit court level may petition the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and will then join a pool of about 10,000 other petitions. Because the volume of requests for review is so high, the Court only grants cert for about 1% of the petitions on their docket (about 75-100 cases per year). The statistical chance of any individual case being heard by the US Supreme Court is very low.

The trial court has original jurisdiction; the appeals court has appellate jurisdiction.
There are many different courts in our state and federal judiciary, and each has a specific appellate process that may or may not terminate at the US Supreme Court.
