How can a Supreme Court decision be changed and what are the possible avenues for overturning or modifying a ruling made by the highest court in the land?
A Supreme Court decision can be changed through a process called judicial review. This can happen through a subsequent Supreme Court decision that overturns or modifies the original ruling. Another way is through a constitutional amendment passed by Congress and ratified by the states, which can effectively nullify a Supreme Court decision. Additionally, Congress can pass legislation that clarifies or modifies the impact of a Supreme Court decision.
