This latter property is what enables investigators to calculate a margin of error.. To be precise, the laws of probability make it possible for us to calculate intervals of the form estimate +/- margin of error.
Congress can't reverse a US Supreme Court ruling, but they can rewrite an overturned law or can initiate a new constitutional amendment (must be ratified by 75 â¦ % of the states) to override the decision. They usually choose to rewrite the law, because it is extremely difficult to amend the Constitution.
Technically, this is not overriding the decision, but it is one way Congress can make a law do its intended purpose without being unconstitutionally vague about the subject and purpose. Other than that, only the Supreme Court can overturn its own precedent.
