Court rulings applied only to the parties in the suit.

...and Lincoln's military, acting under his order, was a party in the Merryman ruling, therefore it applied to him. Glad we settled that.

Only the full Supreme Court is equal to the Executive and Legislative branches of the government. That is why I capped "Court". Try again.
