Congress may take things out of the purview of the court. period.

You are reaching for a straw that is not there. The congress has the power to pass and repeal laws. They cannot overturn a Supreme court decision once made. The issue of constitutional soundness is an issue of FACT and LAW not opinion or individual statements of beliefs. The Congress can take an offending bill and revise and resubmit, rewrite OR let the decision stand. The defeated bill however is no longer in play and not enforced.
