The US Supreme Court doesn't affirm an appeal, but the judgment of the lower court that last reviewed the case. "Affirmed" means they agree with the lower court's decision and uphold it. There is always a notation about the Supreme Court's judgment at the end of the case syllabus (summary), followed by a more formal pronouncement at the conclusion of the opinion (written decision and reasoning).
For example, the opinion for CSX Transportation, Inc. v. McBride, (2011) ended with these words:
"As the courts below so held, the judgment of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is Affirmed."

Can the Federal Reserve override the supreme court?
No. The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution and federal laws is definitive. There are situations where a federal agency (or the Federal Reserve) could change its policy slightly to try to work around a Supreme Court decision while still basically doing the same thing, but that isn't "overriding" the Supreme Court.

What effect does an incomplete Supreme Court have on the nation?
The Supreme Court establishes the law of our land by issuing opinions supported by all or supported by a majority of its members.In closely contested cases, there will always be a majority except where there is a vacancy or absence of a member. Currently, we have 8 members of the Supreme Court and this means that some cases may not be able to be decided because of a tie vote, meaning a 4-4 vote.Simply stated, the Supreme Court cannot hand down decisions in cases in which its members disagree. An incomplete Supreme Court can hamper the Court from doing its job.
How can Supreme Court decisions be overturned and what is the process for doing so?
Supreme Court decisions can be overturned through a process called judicial review. This typically involves a new case being brought before the Supreme Court that challenges the previous decision. If the Court decides to hear the case and rules differently, the previous decision can be overturned. This process allows for the Court to adapt to changing societal norms and legal interpretations.

Would the state supreme court handle a robbery case?
The U.S. Supreme Court would not be involved unless the case had already been decided and appealed. For instance, the Mirandadecision came from the Supreme Court because a man wasn't told his rights when he was arrested as dictated by the constitution so the court ruled. It would have to be something along that line.However, the New York Supreme Court is the state's trial court (which would handle a jewelry robbery). If you're doing a crossword or something like that, I'll bet that's what they are referencing.
