prescription drug advertising
If the Supreme Court makes a decision that contradicts the Constitution of the United States who can overrule the Court?
The Supreme Court determines what contradicts the Constitution. So it supposedly isn't possible for them to rule against it. If people don't like the decision of the Supreme Court, they can pass laws and/or amend the Constitution to change it. Congress would be who would overrule it, particularly members who were there when they passed whatever law. The Court is not allowed to put words in the mouth of Congress.
Why can amendments to the Constitution negate Supreme Court decisions?
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, which all government officials swear to uphold. Supreme Court decisions are subordinate to constitutional amendments, and represent one of the few ways a Supreme Court decision can be changed.
Which supreme court decisions in effect meant the constitution protected slavery?
