Congress cannot overturn a Supreme Court constitutional ruling all by itself. To enact a constitutional amendment, it needs the support of 75% of state legislatures (or, in an alternate procedure only once ever used, separately elected state ratifying conventions). Overturning a Supreme Court ruling by constitutional amendment requires cooperation of the states
(Other indirect schemes for overturning a Supreme Court constitutional ruling also need the cooperation of other parties - court packing, for example, requires cooperation of Congress and the President)
