Well the way it works is that each court can issue whatever opinions it wants, and higher courts can, but don’t have to, correct them.

And it’s critical to realize that technically every single ruling is only about a specific case.

So basically the way it works is that the Supreme Court issues a ruling in a specific case with the expectation that lower courts will rule similarly in similar cases that come up later, but that is not really a requirement, lower courts CAN rule differently but they are risking having higher courts slap them down and reverse their rulings.

I don’t know if that makes sense, I can probably phrase it a different way if it doesn’t.
