IOW, a 5th Circuit judge doesn't have the authority to overrule the USSC. What's the problem here?

If lower court judges won't challenge previous SCOTUS decisions,
then the SCOTUS will never have an opportunity to review and correct its previous errors.

THAT's the problem here.

Pretty sure it's not up to a lower court to "challenge" a higher court, unless it's in the context of a case. Here, she was answering questions in a vacuum. Perhaps Billybob can clear this up, or one of our other lawyers.
