following the constitution and congressional statutes, the next highest source for direction and guidance of rules and procedures is the united states supreme court. the supreme court is the highest federal court. lower courts, such as federal appellate courts and federal district courts, must follow the decisions of the supreme court. the supreme court has discretionary appellate jurisdiction, meaning the court chooses to hear cases for reasons it deems “compelling reasons” (such as resolving a conflict in the interpretation of a federal law or resolving an important matter of law). federal courts, including the supreme court, cannot override any law enacted by congress unless the law violates the constitution. federal courts also cannot repeal a statute unless congress clearly intended to repeal the statute.
