They're seeking to add an amendment to the constitution. If they succeed in doing that, the Supreme Court would have no authority to overturn it. It would literally become a fundamental cornerstone of our country's governance, just like the right to freedom of speech is.
It could EASILY be 100 years or better before the possibility of a new constitutional amendent would be proposed and passed to undo it.
We're talking about a 67 super majority vote in the Senate and retification by 2/3 of the states.
