the evidence against him was obtained through a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, specifically by the use of excessive physical force during the search and seizure process.
Many would say the simple answer, which is "the Constitution". That is not, however, the most correct answer. What guides Supreme Court decisions are firstly the politics and socio-cultural experience of the individual Supreme Court Justice writing the opinions, which is the expression of the Court's decision. These are expressed in the choice by the executive branch in the form of the President, and confirmed by the Senate, of which jurists to appoint to the Court, based upon the President's perception of the liberality or conservatism of the jurist's political viewpoints.Secondly, what guides Supreme Court decisions are the legal principles expressed as stare decisis, which is law Latin, literally "that which is decided". This term refers to the sum total of the applicable legal precepts and interpretations derived from over two hundred years of U.S. Constitutional common law.These are precepts such as "substantive and procedural due process of law"; "separation of powers between the three branches of government"; "equal protection of the laws to be accorded to similarly-situated persons and groups"; the "supremacy clause"; the "right to remain silent"; the "right to confront the witnesses against one", to name only a very few.That is, every Supreme Court decision does not reinvent the wheel by deriving all over again long-established legal principles, their nuances, and past applications, from the text of the Constitution, and based upon the perception of the intent of its drafters and ratifiers. This is not say that with the passage of time, that some of these principles fall into disuse or are abrogated in favor of new interpretations, because over the decades this is, in fact, what has indeed characterized the U.S. Constitution as a "living document", and the resultant Constitutional common law.Thus, what is considered and cited comes directly from case law, or "common law"--judge-made law--which is derived from the provisions set forth in the seven articles of, and the twenty-seven amendments to, the United States Constitution.
The Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause by allowing the internment of Japanese Americans based on their ethnicity. It also violated the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause by depriving individuals of their freedom without sufficient justification.
A legal aspect refers to a specific component or element of the law that is relevant to a particular situation, issue, or case. It can include laws, regulations, court decisions, contracts, or other legal considerations that may impact a decision-making process or outcome. Understanding the legal aspects of a situation is important for ensuring compliance with the law and making informed decisions.
The authority to overturn decisions made by the Supreme Court lies with the Supreme Court itself through the process of judicial review.

Yes, the Supreme Court has the power to reverse its own decisions through a process called overruling.
Judicial review is the process that lets the Supreme Court decide whether lower court decisions and laws are in keeping with the intent of the constitution.

No, the Supreme Court does not have the authority to remove a president. The process of removal involves impeachment by the House of Representatives and a subsequent trial in the Senate, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court's role is to interpret laws and ensure they are applied fairly, but it does not engage in the impeachment process.
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.
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 ruling. The Court can then choose to reconsider its decision and potentially reverse it. Additionally, Congress has the power to pass legislation that can effectively overturn a Supreme Court decision.
Since it is the Supreme Court that decides what is constitutional and what is not, the decisions of the Supreme Court cannot be unconstitutional, however, it is always possible for the Supreme Court to make new decisions which reverse older decisions. So in theory, if the Supreme Court does something wrong, they will be reversed by a later sitting of the same court (but with new judges).
Absolutely, yes. The US Supreme Court has overturned many lower court decisions on the basis of unconstitutionality of the law, as written or applied, or something that occurred in the legal process.
The Supreme Court uses the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses to selectively incorporate individual clauses in the Bill of Rights to the states in order to make federal legislation and US Supreme Court decisions enforceable against and within the states. Without the Fourteenth Amendment, Supreme Court decisions would not be enforceable against any body except the federal government. For more information, see Related Questions, below.
