"I thought Congress could overturn a SCOTUS decision by legislation and a vote? Am I wrong?"

Yes you are wrong. Congress cannot overturn a decision. But court decisions are based on laws, and laws can be changed. This particular decision was based on the Constitution though and would require a constitutional amendment.

The decision in and of itself was an amendment to the Constitution ... from the bench.
