I see what you are saying, but it isn't so binary.
If the Supreme Court ruled against the merits of a specific law that Congress passed, then sure Congress could not make another law to overrule it (well it would be immediately stayed by the courts).
Here the Supreme Court ruled against an OUTCOME of a law that doesn't exist. They ruled against interpretations of a patchwork of nuanced regulations which never had any legislative guidance, which resulted in the aggrieved party not being able to enforce their gene patent alongside the patent examiners not approving any more of them.
Congress is now ending this mess by providing that missing legislative guidance.
