The final Supreme Court ruling of the Gonzales v. Raich case in 2005 was that Congress may ban the use of marijuana even where states approve its use for medicinal purposes. The Supreme Court's support came from the Commerce Clause in the United States Constitution, which allows the U.S. Congress "to regulate commerce...among the several states."

Can an interim order of the US Supreme Court set precedent?

No. An interim order is intended to be temporary, until the final ruling is made, and cannot be used as a precedent. If the final decision is made Per Curiam (unsigned by the Court), it can't be used as a precedent, either. Only a final, signed decision with no restrictions (such as in Bush v. Gore, (2000), where the Court narrowly applied their ruling to the instant case only) can be cited in case law.

What does it mean when a judge's ruling is Final Extended until further order of the court in a Domestic and Repeat Abuse case?

When a restraining order is filed it is initially issued temporarily, until the case is heard in court, provided the judge is satisfied there is enough evidence to believe that a domestic violence or repeat abuse is occurring. When the case gets to court the judge will hear both sides of the case and make his final ruling. The judge could either dismiss the case or be satisfied that such an abuse or repeat violence is occurring and that the restraining order will then need to be final. A final order of restraint generally lasts for one year or until the petitioner files a voluntary dismissal of the case. In the case where such an order is extended until further order of the court, this order can extend beyond the year, until the court orders otherwise.

Can a judge change his judgment in Texas?

The answer depends on what type of court you are in. In child custody cases, for example, a judge may issue a new ruling. In criminal and civil cases, the judge's ruling is usually final. If one of the parties appeals the ruling, the appelate court has the option to remand the case back to the original judge. They do this in cases where they feel that the judge may have made an error in his initial ruling.
