What happens when the US Supreme Court doesn't agree with a law that is passed?

Answer 1

If Congress disagrees on how the Court interprets a law, Congress amends the law to make the wording more clear on what Congress intends it to mean. The Supreme Court has the last say on the interpretation of a statute even if it knows Congress wants it interpreted a certain way. But once the statue is amended to make its intent clear, then the Court has to deal with the new wording.

Answer 2

Nothing unless a case appealed to the Supreme Court asks a constitutional question directly related to that law. If the Court grants certiorari on such a case, they can use the power of judicial review to decide whether the law conforms with the US Constitution. If they determine the law is unconstitutional, they can nullify it and render it unenforceable.

The Supreme Court can only apply judicial review to legislation under review in a case on appeal. Contrary to popular belief, the Supreme Court cannot be proactive in reviewing laws. The justices don't have constitutional authority to overturn legislation simply because they don't like it.

Answer 3

Someone eventually becomes prosecuted or retricted by it and appeals the law to the Supreme Court, where its constitutionality is tested and decided upon.

Answer 4

I'm saying it either goes to the house of Representatives or to the president. if they agree or disagree, it may go to the people and they'll have to vote.
