I also came across this gem: "A Supreme Court decision does not establish a "supreme law of the land" that is binding on all persons and parts of government, henceforth and forevermore."

That is true. Future courts can overrule prior precedent as we have just seen in Lawrence v. TX overturning Bowers v. Hardwick.
So the decisions of the Supreme Court are not binding "forevermore." Future courts can overturn them.
