The supreme court's decisions ultimately reform laws, for better or for worse. The supreme court can be viewed as its own government, just as the legislative and executive branch are. The executive branch, alone, is a despotism government. The legislative branch, alone, is a democratic government, and the supreme court, or judicial branch, is a republic government. Using checks and balances, no branch may have real power over the other. The supreme court's decision in a case may be opened again, if the defendant or the plaintiff is unsatisfied with the result, and doing so is expensive but may change America's fate with the new verdict. What is said during the case will also affect the way laws work. If someone committed major fraud, but fraud against an enemy of the country, such as a spy, the supreme court may say that habeas corpus may be suspended by a civilian if believed to be an enemy of the country.
