Why in the States of America

For some odd reason there is a quite annoying belief that the Supreme Court is the "highest" Court in existence. The Superior Court/(the most Honorable Court IMO) has Executive rights over all States within the Governance of Nations. Is it that there is a wanted ignorance (from the United States Government) to assure people/(Citizens and other public entities) believe they are under an omnipotent power in which there is no greater? Would you consider this to be an implied form of Communism or Supremacy?

What are you talking about?

What is this "Superior Court" that you claim has executive rights? Courts don't have "executive rights". They decide the law.

The Supreme Court of the USA is the highest court in the USA.

There is no universally acknowledged supranational court. There are some supranational courts, e.g. the International Criminal Court at The Hague, established by international treaty* (the Rome Statute), but this treaty has not been ratified by all countries and in fact the USA - egregiously - refuses to ratify it.

Is this what you mean, or something else?

*The only mechanism by which a sovereign state recognises an institution beyond its borders as having power over it is by treaty, i.e. voluntarily agreeing to be bound by it.

In some European parliamentary republics there is a Constitutional Court (Supreme Court that decides about the conformity to the Constitution) and a Supreme Court about the questions of legitimacy (in Italy called Court of Cassation).

Does the Supreme Court consist of supreme beings?
Is the Superior Court about supremacy? If so, which race?

The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols
This is a good site to start with. Every Government on Earth is Internationally relevant to a state. States are viewed as territories within a "federally regulated" territory. No Government or entity of that Governing bodies are permitted by any means to violate the laws in which they are mandated to implement and uphold. There is a good bit more to it, but that is the fundamental gist.

These are some additional international treaties, yes.

But again, they only apply to those countries that have voluntarily agreed to abide by them. (These ones have been ratified by the USA, as far as I am aware).

As I said before, there is no higher authority than a sovereign nation, so these international conventions and institutions are only given power by the consent of the nation states that agree.

In addition to my prior post, within Federal Law of the United States of America; Greater protections may be granted through the Amending of Laws. No lesser protections are legal,, meaning that if you know there is a health risk to a population and try to abolish a law which allows for these protections to upheld, the Federal Law is being broken.

The USA Government follows a tier of protections as follows: Federal (which holds Supremacy), State (which holds Federal) and Local (which holds State); each body of Government has a right to establish laws within their jurisdictions, but must always comply by the standards and Laws implemented inside the "framework". This assures that no aspects of the Nation's Law can become a Communistic or Supremacy binary or singularity of either and will remain a Unit of Democracy.

On the national level in the United States, the Supreme Court was established by the Constitution. In the various states, it's established by their State Constitutions.

The nature and jurisdiction of superior courts is described very well here

Yes, I think that you are making a legitimate (and important) point there. The function and powers of the Supreme Court have grown over the 200+ years that the United States has been in existence, as more and more people who don't like laws passed by elected Congress have appealed cases all the way up to the appointed Supreme Court in hopes that court will make wholesale reinterpretations of the law, in effect legislating from the bench producing policy decisions that are more to those litigants' liking. The alternative is what I believe that the Founders originally intended, the Supreme Court restricting its jurisdiction to ruling strictly on matters of law while interpreting law to mean what those who wrote it intended it to mean.

There is no Superior Court.

The supreme court is the highest court in the land. I think you're confusing state and federal levels. States have superior courts and a state supreme court , not the feds who would only have the supreme court to decide matters over the states as a whole.

No it's the highest Court in the land which is America. It is via the Constitution.

Not in the US. Superior Courts are district and state courts which are lower courts to SCOTUS.

No as many believe in religion. Many do not think SCOTUS is omnipotent. You are arguing against a fiction in your head.

Would you consider this to be an implied form of Communism or Supremacy?

Actually it would be part of the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
