Court rulings after the charter are the ruling precedent.

"precedent".

And what do you mean by a "State Charter"? Do you mean the State Constitution?

The State Constitution is a States primary law. Nothing (Except the Federal Constitution) takes precedence over it.

Court rulings are interpretations of the Constitution, so they don't take precedence OVER it, they're just the court saying "This is what that part of the Constitution means".
