Question

Could congress change supreme court rulings?

Answer 1

Three ways.

Constitutional Amendment.

Write a new law, if they interpreted the old one as not intended by congress.

Wait until the court changes membership.

Answer 2

The only way to do this is to ammend the Constitution. This is not easy to do because of the complexities of the issues involved. Prohabition was a prime example.

Answer 3

It depends on whether the Supreme Court ruling was on a Constitutional point or on interpretation of a law passed by Congress.

The SC interprets the Constitution and is the ultimate authority on whether something passes muster in that regard.

If The Court rules against a law, the congress can change that law so that it meets the court's ruling wirth regard to constitutionality.

The Congress cannot overtunr a Supreme Court decision but they can change the law to remove the court's opposition to it.
