Since decisions are based on the Constitution, if you want to change the results of a case, change (amend) the Constitution. (Ex: flag-burning case) B. The Supreme Court is made up of 9 members appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. If you want a decision of the Supreme Court to be different, bring up a similar case again when members of the Supreme Court are different. [Supreme Court members cannot be removed from the court unless they do something really bad. When they do leave, the current president gets to replace them, and whomever s/he picks will be there a long time. It is a very powerful job of the president, and comes into play with a presidential election.] -- Faithless elector: Someone who has pledged to vote for a particular candidate for president at the Electoral College but then doesn't.
