Question for lawyers, can any conviction of any court of any jurisdiction be overturned by the US
Supreme Court?
I fear the answer.

1. No,
courts must have JURISDICTION of matters they handle, and Jurisdiction is peculiar to each MATTER.
not true

6. State doesn't matter
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the entire US including state cases and even civil cases if they so choose
They can rule on any matter of law in the US

17. No they can't.
It has to be a Constitutional issue that reaches the State (and usually Circuit) appellate courts.
The Supreme Court has no authority to disagree with the New York Criminal Court and demand they overturn the conviction.

22. Sure they do
The Supreme Court frequently overturns state laws
Most of their cases start from state laws
I dont know what you mean
They can absolutely tell New York no

14. So, did we, like, throw the Tenth Amendment out the window?
Tenth Amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

In this case, the primitives won’t have the opportunity to find out. This whole thing is a nothingburger.
