"Now that I think of it, before you do that, perhaps you can answer if there's ever any justification at all for concluding that a SCOTUS opinion is incorrect, even if the legislatve and executive branches haven't objected to it."

Why do you ask?

I mean, millions of people think SCOTUS opinions are incorrect -- take abortion, for example. And they firmly believe they're justified in feeling that way. So?

Let me phrase the question in a different way: Is the correctness or incorrectness of a SCOTUS holding ever a question of fact, or is it only a question of opinion?
