The ratification of a constitutional amendment
Ratification of a constitutional amendment
If the US Supreme Court agrees with the lower court ruling, the decision is "affirmed," and becomes legally final (res judicata).
Yes, the ratification of a constitutional amendment can legally change a ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court. This is because amendments to the Constitution can modify or override judicial interpretations of constitutional provisions. For example, the 14th Amendment effectively overturned the Dred Scott decision by establishing citizenship and equal protection under the law for all individuals born in the U.S. Thus, while individual Supreme Court rulings are binding, the Constitution can be amended to reflect new legal standards or interpretations.
No, a Supreme Court ruling cannot be overturned by Congress. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States and its decisions are final and binding. Congress does not have the authority to overturn a Supreme Court ruling.
No, the Supreme Court ruling cannot be overturned by any other court or government body.
The ruling made by the supreme court is that demonstrations on the private property is illegal.
Yes, if the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case, they will issue a ruling on it.
Potentially, if they are quick enough and if they have reason to believe the law, as it stands, is about to be nullified. Such action would render a Supreme Court ruling moot if the change affects the part of the law under review, so there is a good chance the Court would dismiss the case if the law was changed before the decision was released. It's unlikely Congress would take such preemptive action, however.

No. The rulings of the Supreme Court represent the final interpretation of a law. The only way to change the interpretation is to change the law, which is the job of the legislative branch.
Yes, a Supreme Court ruling can be overturned through a subsequent Supreme Court decision or through a constitutional amendment passed by Congress and ratified by the states.
A Supreme Court ruling can be overturned through a process called judicial review, where a new case is brought before the Court that challenges the previous ruling. If the Court decides to hear the case and issues a new ruling that contradicts the previous one, the original ruling can be overturned. Additionally, a constitutional amendment or legislation passed by Congress can also overturn a Supreme Court ruling.
