The USSC decides how the constitution will be interpreted by the US government. However these statements are not infallible. If they interpret it wrong then that wrong interpretation will have the power of law but it will still be wrong.

I have to agree that the USSC can be wrong because they are composed of human beings and human beings are fallible. On the other hand, those who disagree with the USSC can also be in error. In the case of the USSC, the Framers did cover themselves a bit, the Court has no enforcement authority, the Court relies totally on the cooperation of the Executive and the Congress for enforcement of it's decisions.

I think it's pretty reasonable to suggest that if the USSC makes a decision and it is enforced by Congress and the Executive, I would consider it a whole lot more likely that those that disagreed with the Court were in error. Of course there will be those who wouldn't even bother to read the decision, knowing that the entire Court, the Executive and the Congress must be wrong.
