Why does Congress have the right to pass law reversing Supreme Court decisions like Ward's Cove?

Once the Supreme Court sets a precedent in its interpretation of a certain law, that decision becomes the pattern by which future tests of the same law must be judged. Therefore, if Congress passes a law that is contrary to a Supreme Court decision, and a case involving that law comes before the Supreme Court, the Court should strike it down based on the established precedent.
