You can petition the court to hear a case again. This would only make sense if there is significant new information or if the facts have changed in some way. For example, if a witness in a lower-court ruling was found to have committed perjury and the Supreme Court ruled on the basis of this perjured testimony, the Supreme Court could be appealed to vacate its ruling.
Also, depending on the ruling by the Supreme Court, it could be appealed to the President or Congress. For example, if the Supreme Court found that the death sentence of a convicted murderer is lawful, the President could be appealed to grant clemency and the sentence changed to life in prison. In the event of a ruling on commercial law, a bill can be introduced in Congress to change the law.
So yes, there are circumstances when Supreme Court rulings can be appealed in one form or another.

You can appeal against the State Supreme Courts but not against the Federal Supreme Court. However you can file a review petition before the same court.

Okay - if the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, where do you think you are going to take your appeal?
That's a big fat no.

No, the decision of the Supreme Court is final. That's one of the reasons they have 9 members so there can not be a tie.

It cannot be appealed. But that does not mean a similar case cannot be brought before the Court again.

Nope. It is the final say in law.
The one thing is if the Supreme Court says a lower court can re-examine a case, then the case could be re-visited.

If the lawyer thinks that a constitutional right has been violated they are able to make an attraction to the severe court docket. possibility is narrow that they are going to take heed to the case, yet there is an possibility. After the attraction is reviewed and the severe court docket decides they're going to take heed to the case they're going to difficulty a writ of certiorari. yet, this is an extremely not on time technique that could drag for in lots of cases years. good success to you.
