Could congress prevent SCOTUS from invalidating laws?

Quoting a snip I posted in another thread:

@LSLGuy

One of the big challenges all Americans are wrestling with right now is that our system was not designed against the possibility of nihilist vandals at the helm who are supported by a substantial fraction of the political class and the populace.

Our system (checks and balances, impeachment, and all the rest) was designed to stop a small fraction of “bad apples” who were seen as bad apples by the rest of the political class and the populace.

As I said way upthread, trying to alter the rules of the game while the current rules are already being ignored with not only impunity, but to widespread applause, is a sterile academic exercise at best and a foolish direct route to enshrining tyranny at worst.

Witness countless examples in the history of the last ~1000 years, starting perhaps with Cromwell and leading up to current Duterte & Erdogan & perhaps Trump, I don’t believe a democratic system can be built that withstands simultaneous assault by the leadership and the followership.
