Congress can over-ride a Presidential veto by a 2/3 majority. Isn't there a way Congress can over-ride a Supreme Court decision? Congress can revise a law the USSC says is illegal, but could they revise an amendment? An old civics book I have mentions several aspects of checks and balances, but nothing is mentioned about over-riding a decision (other than FDR's attempt to increase the size of the court).
