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”?

    That would mean revolution or heavy reform, which I do not see at the horizon at all.

      That can happen faster than you think. Nobody thought the USSR would be dissolved literally up to the minute that it did.

        Yeah the thing about Revolution it is unpredictable. But the conditions are that Americans are not starving or going hungry yet, so they will not revolt I think.
