If you're from the US, you're going to talk about the US. You want people from other parts of the world to speak for you? No? Then shut up

when addressing a global community, writing "US supreme court" or "supreme court in US" instead of just "supreme court" is not a lot to expect and neither is that hard. also your argument is shit.

I think they were just speaking (typing..) conversationally rather than "addressing a global community". Obviously a comment on an Internet forum is addressing a global community, but it's not a formal conversation, and as long as you understood the comment I don't get the need to complain about US defaultism here.
