I constantly see that the current US Supreme Court makes inconstitucional rulings like for example, allowing racial profiling.

For what little I’ve gathered due to separation of powers. The supreme court is just a designated authority. Why hasn’t there been any movement that just aims to de-legitimize the current supreme Court?

Why can’t a judge say “I denounce the Supreme courts authority for their failing to uphold the spirit of the law and now I shall follow this other courts rulings”?

    Well, that would be a constitutional crisis.

    We’ve been using the phrase “constitutional crisis” to explain a relationship between the three branches that boils down to “The President can do what he wants” since at least Reagan.

    This isn’t a crisis. This is how the country has been governed for decades (if not centuries).

    There aren’t really any ways to remove SC justices in the law.

    The legal resolution to a broken court is to pack it with better judges and to prosecute corrupt officials as you find them.

    Liberals refuse to do this. Ffs, they can’t even be bothered to bottle up a SC nomination a month before election day.

    We have an outright fascist party and a controlled opposition. Until that changes, every well-meaning progressive is just taking another swing at Lucy’s football when they primary in another batch of Do Nothing Dems.
