Has the USSC ever reversed itself on an opinion in later yrs? Or is one decision (one singular swing vote) always left to stand as the absolute right and truth for all time?

They do occasionally, but it almost always has to do with criminal procedure and such.

They don't really overturn so much as jump through ridiculous logical hoops to get around previous rulings that contradict what they vote to do.
