The Judicial Branch of government is vested with the authority to interpret the Constitution and ensure that laws adhere to the spirit and letter of the Constitution. It is also responsible for determining how a laws are interpreted and applied.As the highest court in the nation, the US Supreme Courtis the ultimate authority on the interpretation of laws and the Constitution.However, through the system of checks and balances, the Supreme Court does not have the final say on what the Constitution is.

Why are US Supreme Court decisions so important?
Supreme Court decisions are so important because the Supreme Court is the final authority for interpreting federal laws and the US Constitution. All courts in the US must adhere to the decisions as handed down by the Court. In the common law system that is practiced in the US (and in UK, etc) the lower courts must apply the same rule of law as the higher court has handed down. For example the Supreme Court finds that segregated schools are unconstitutional in Kansas (Brown v. Board of Education), all lower courts must then find in favor of the parties asking that schools be ordered to integrate throughout the rest of the country. So if Florida continued to have segregated schools, and a group of parents and students sued the school system, asking that they be ordered to integrate, the court would have no choice but to follow the rule as handed down by the US Supreme Court, and order the Florida system to integrate. In the case of interpretation of the constitution, the legislature must make a constitutional amendment to "overturn" the supreme court's interpretation. In the case of common law or interpretation of statutes, the legislature can "overturn" the Supreme Court ruling by creating a new statute. Also because the system of checks and balances includes the courts of this world, so it is TOO important to overlook. seriousle.
How can a law be reinstated after the US Supreme Court declares it unconstitutional?
If the US Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, it is nullified and rendered unenforceable. It can not be reinstated. Congress may rewrite the law so that the new version complies with constitutional principles. The bill would be subject to the same legislative process as new Acts of Congress. It is also possible to pass an amendment to the Constitution that permits the action that the Court found unconstitutional. Then congress would have to pass a new law taking that action. This is what was done to permit the establishment of a Federal Income Tax.
