Amendment XXIX Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States may be overruled by a bill passed by two thirds majority in the house and senate. The president may veto the bill. The bill must be presented to the floor of the house no more than thirty days after the first day that the house meets after the day the decision is published.

Not needed as we already have this:

Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

The fact that they have chosen not to exercise their prerogative does not alter the fact that it is there!

They could regulate the ability to overturn a SCOTUS decision, but it would probably result in an ugly and ongoing battle between the two branches. If the Constitution is amended to allow the process, the SCOTUS can’t make any argument that the process is not what the founders intended.
