Basically any way their own personal experience and beliefs influence them to. Since they were selected, a lot of people trust their judgment. Notice the root of the word judgment?
Another view: The terms"without respect to persons" and "impartially discharge" make it clear that judges are specifically not to make decisions on their own experiences or beliefs.
According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath: "I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."
The the United States Constitution made the supreme court. The supreme court was made in 1789.

pretty sure it is, its a part of the judicial branch The Supreme Court is not the highest law in the land; the Constitution is. The Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the final appeals court; decisions made by it are final. But these decisions still represent the interpretation of the court, and such decisions can theoretically be overturned by the same or future courts.
Yes, the Supreme Court is part of the Judicial Branch.
Answer Yes, when you argue a case in court you have to cite legal precedents. The Constitution and the laws passed by Congress along with the interpretations of those laws by the Court (all Courts, not just the Supreme Court) constitute the law. When courts disagree or a decision is appealed to a court the decision of the highest court becomes the new standard. The Supreme Court is the highest standard. Answer Yes and no. Usually the "Supreme Law of the Land" refers to the Constitution of the United States. According to Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution, however, the "Supreme Law of the Land" means "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof." We usually take this to mean enacted laws, or laws made by a legislative body, like Congress, but it can also mean common law, or laws made as a result of judicial decisions. Supreme Court decisions make common law, which is enforceable and carries the rule of law, so it must also be in compliance with the Constitution. In that sense, rulings by the Supreme Court could be considered part of the "Supreme Law of the Land," as long as they are constitutionally sound. Article VI, Section 2 (Supremacy Clause) This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
