There is no reason the US government couldn't function in this manner in principle, but the lawmaking process is deliberately glacial and easy to disrupt. It is fairly difficult to repeal or modernize lawns in general, it's not a feature unique to court decisions. The SCOTUS usually rules on issues of federal law, which requires the majority of the House, 60% of the Senate, and either the President or sizable majorities of the other two to be on board with revising. When SCOTUS rules on constitutional law the bar is absurdly high, 75% of states. In niche scenarios as little as 2% of the population of the country can block a constitutional amendment. https://lawliberty.org/scalia-and-ginsburg-on-constitutional-amendments https://lawliberty.org/scalia-and-ginsburg-on-constitutional...
