How can a decision of the supreme court get reversed?
Yes, you either need Congress to change the law(and if their law was declared unconstitutional they need to change the original law to make it constitutional.) And if Congress doesn't want to change the law they need to propose an amendment addition to the Constitution. The Supreme Court can overturn its own decisions. For example, Plessy vs Ferguson was overturned by Brown vs The Board of Education.
