Congress can thereby render the court's interpretation obsolete, either by passing a new law or amending the old law to better achieve its original intent.

...if the original intent was unconstitutional, ya can't fix it so it is. Witness the number of times folks have tried to outlaw abortions and have failed. The court is the final word and No means No!

If the citizenry voices their concerns loud enough, they can put pressure on congress to make a new law.

The Supreme Court holds the power to interpret laws and declare them unconstitutional under the principle of judicial review. While Congress doesn't technically have the power to overrule a Supreme Court decision, it can take actions to lessen, or even negate, the effect of a court ruling. Congress can thereby render the court's interpretation obsolete, either by passing a new law or amending the old law to better achieve its original intent.
