Wait a min. Several states have passed an amendment to their respective state’s Constitution.
Only to have a court rule the Constitutional Amendment “unconstitutional”

So how can congress override USSC.

“So how can congress override USSC.”

Congress can pass a Constitutional amendment to overturn a Supreme Court decision. For example, the amendments passed after the Civil War overturned Dredd Scott and other decisions related to slavery. However, it takes more than Congress passing the amendment. It takes 2/3 of each house of Congress to even start, then 3/4 of the states (38) must ratify the amendment.
