A SCOTUS decision is the law of the land ie Common Law.
Because the Court has granted itself the sole arbiter of
what the Constitution means Congress cannot then overturn
the meaning of the Constitution.

That is one of the reasons that Kelo just cannot be
legislated away. Once the Court has spoken it is settled
Stare Deisis and only the Court can go back and change what
it has said the Constitution has to say about Kelo.
