Case law is irrelevant. It's just a way for people to use one bad court ruling as a precident for others.

The word is "precedent" but I'm not surprised you're not familiar with it.
Whether or not the rulings are "bad", i.e., YOU don't like them, all previous rulings stand as precedent for lower court decisions. That judicial power is vested via the Constitution, Article 3 Sections 1 and 2.
In effect, the Supreme Court cannot MAKE an "unconstitutional" decision. All of their decisions on Cases are Constitutional.
How do you answer to Article 3 Sections 1 and 2?
