All other courts are 'lower' to it.

Yes I know but they ruled on if the law can take effect whilst it's going though the courts. Not on the law itself. They're different things.

The justices have said the policy can take full effect despite multiple legal challenges against it that haven’t yet made their way through the judicial system, so it is now pointless these legal challenges contesting it.

Not necessarily because whilst the Supreme Court is probably likely to rule in favour of the
law itself they haven't yet done so. It will still need to wind it's way though the court system before it ends up at the Supreme Court itself at which point they'll deliver a final judgement.

Today the justices agreed to the federal government’s request. In two brief orders (available here and here), the court permitted the Trump administration to enforce the September 24 order while the courts of appeals consider the government’s appeals and, if necessary, during review in the Supreme Court.

This isn't a final judgement on the law itself, the case hasn't been heard by the Supreme Court. As I said such judgments are a longer, bigger, process.
