How about a law that says plainly that a SCOTUS decision that is rendered and deemed as creating a Law, which is not within the scope of the Court’s power under the Constitution, States can vote such a ruling of law invalid by a simple majority in their legislatures.

That’s a possibility. To me the exact details are secondary to Congress asserting their Constitutional authority to pass “exceptions” and “regulations” over scotus’ appellate powers. Even if it didn’t pass (it wouldn’t now) it would get the conversation going.

Deemed by who?

I still think that would need a Constitutional amendment, but even if it passed who gets to deem that the court created a law?

Your proposal would at least give back to the people, hopefully just citizens, the Constitution which would be what the Founders intended. I don’t believe from reading about this Nation’s founding that the Founders ever intended, blessings on Them, that any of the branches of US government would/could supersede the will of the people as being done by individuals today in the three branches. Indeed, the Founders were concerned about the peoples government being taken over by government employees/appointees.

So what happens when things go the other way and the state legislatures overrule a court decision you like, or that is correct?

There is no prefect system. Ultimately someone has to have final say.
