When a state violates the rights of American citizens, the federal government has a duty to step in to correct it.

That happened.

SCOTUS reviewed it(in your words, "stepped in to correct it") but Republicans did not like the SCOTUS' decision.

So, they bypassed the SCOTUS decision and pulled a play form the Democratic playbook and decided to write new law.

This is nothing to be proud of if you are a conservative.

I disagree with your characterization of the way Congress dealt with it. As a conservative, I will only add I much prefer to trust the elected representatives of the people than judges accountable to no one.
