Supreme Court citation of Circuit Law

[kmckenn]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio - Federal District Court

Hello all... While I feel I have a pretty clear understanding of binding/precedental law in the Federal Court System, there is one thing that I'd like to see some opinion on.

Supreme Court, in citing Circuit Law (lets call in 11th Circuit) which it cites as an example/basis or support for arriving at its decision. Does that specific internal citation become any greater authorty than persuasive precedent on any non-11th sister Circuit, that it would be without the Supreme Court specific citation of that case?

**A: is this a homework question? And for what class? You did pretty good except you spelled the word authority wrong.

.... does that mean you dont have the capacity to comprehend the context of the question? or just a demonstration that you are above all else, a fault finder?

I believe the context of the question, with or without mis-spellings, should be understandable by most with an average IQ or better... Answer if you can, if not keep trolling as fault finder.
