The Congress doesn't have to pass nonbinding resolutions. They have the authority to order the court to cite only American law in it's decisions and if they defy this, then such decisions shall be null and void and need not be obeyed by the lower courts and the states.

It does not matter what the constitution says. It only matters who gets to be the judges.

If the right people are appointed to the bench, they will make the right decisions no matter if there is a constitution or not.

If the wrong people are apointed to the bench they will rule as they wish no matter what the Constitution says.

The Constitution says whatever the Judges say it says.

"The resolutions are nonbinding."

That says it all right there. If they really gave a damn, Congress would be issuing articles of impeachment. This is doing nothing but helping them write their fundraising letters.
