What is a way federal gov't can influence the outcome of supreme court case? thanks?

Whenever the Solicitor General is a party to a case or files an amicus curiae brief the Executive Branch is almost guaranteed a measure of influence.What is a way federal gov't can influence the outcome of supreme court case? thanks?
Truly, the only branch of the federal government that SHOULD influence the outcome of the Supreme Court is the Judicial Branch (which, of course, is the branch of government in which the Supreme Court resides).





The whole reason that judges are appointed for life-time tenure is so that they are NOT influenced by outside sources to decide any one particular case.





That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Pressure from interest groups and leverage of public officials have an impact.What is a way federal gov't can influence the outcome of supreme court case? thanks?
There is no way for either the legislative branch or the executive branch to influence the Supreme Court in a case they are deciding. However, both branches can effect future cases. The President appoints new Supreme Court Justices, and the Senate gives consent and confirmation on those appointments. Generally the President appoints justices that agree with his views of the constitution. Therefore they could be expected rule on issues the way he/she would.
In about half the cases heard by the supreme court, the federal government is a party to the case. So obviously they influence it.





In the rest, they can file an amicus brief like anyone else.
Not sure, they can give their opinions but the SC has been known to have it's own mind on most issues, so it would be hard, the more you try to influence, the more they may go the other way.....
Teh Supreme Court is part of the federal government. The Supreme Court has total influence over its cases' outcomes.
fed can stay the hell out of it..maybe it will be better
