The legislative branch of government does have the authority to revise a law or enact a new law in response to a court ruling, as long as the revised law or new law is not itself unconstitutional. For example, in United States v. Patryas, 303 U.S. 341 (1938), the United States Supreme Court recognized that Congress had amended a law concerning insurance policies “in order to overcome the effect of the above rulings of the courts,” and applied the law as amended by Congress.
