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. And its what we’re heading for.
The thing is, once a case goes to the SC, its pretty much written in stone until they themselves overturn it. The Executive branch is beholden to its rulings so what they say is how the law gets handled. So if a, say, district judge makes one ruling, and the SC overtures it, the SC has the Executive branch make sure its enforced.
There aren’t really any ways to remove SC justices in the law. Thats exactly why we on the left have been raising concern about these appointees for so long.

Well, they can hypothetically be impeached, but that’s unlikely to happen with the current Congress.
They can be arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for criminal misconduct as well. When you have a judge like Thomas openly accepting bribes to influence his vote from the bench, he’s in direct violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Our liberal DOJ didn’t want to touch this under Biden or Obama or Clinton, because it would have angered the press.
But this was a political decision not a legal one.
We also have 2 justices that lied under oath. They said they wouldn’t touch precedent and were asked specifically about roe v wade and said they wouldn’t vote against it but they did. The supreme court is not valid in my opinion but what are we supposed to do about it?
we’re heading for.
It’s crazy to me that people are still saying we’re heading for it… Our Capitol was invaded by militaries from other states and they’re now invading Chicago. The crisis is over, the civil war has already begun.
A constitutional crisis is a specific kind of thing, which has more to do with machinations of power rather than the fallout of those machinations.
As yet there hasn’t been a strong constitutionally backed opposition to these actions, though I imagine they’re in the works, it’s probably not a “constitutional” crisis, just a more generic one.
SCOTUS can be impeached. Unclear who would run the trial if you’re impeaching Roberts though.
Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett all need to be though.
Impeachment trials are overseen by the Vice President except for when the President is being impeached.
Only one Supreme Court justice has been impeached, and even then they weren’t removed from office. You would need to have a judge do horrific things to get removed from office.
Like make up law, take bribes and shit on the constitution in favor of a goddamn fascist think tank‽
Suppose a nation, rich and poor, high and low, ten millions in number, all assembled together; not more than one or two millions will have lands, houses, or any personal property; if we take into the account the women and children, or even if we leave them out of the question, a great majority of every nation is wholly destitute of property, except a small quantity of clothes, and a few trifles of other movables. Would Mr. Nedham be responsible that, if all were to be decided by a vote of the majority, the eight or nine millions who have no property, would not think of usurping over the rights of the one or two millions who have? - John Adams
The US government is built around trying to put off dealing with the impossibility of a “democracy” swarming with slaves and incredibly rich aristocrats, so it needs unelected people whose job is to say no when people try to vote against the aristocrats. There might be liberals who don’t like the racial profiling, but that’s the price they pay to have a secretive council of lords who make it illegal for you to vote to make landlords illegal.
Hahahaha
Geez, man, read a book. Or even a Wikipedia page
You’re advocating rule by mob over rule of law… You know, like the French Revolution
They’re part of the totally optional “checks and balances” we’ve depended on for 250 years or so. The Founders never thought the solution would become part of the problem, so there’s a limited number of options available. Impeachment is one, but the other part of the checks and balances is Congress, which has also become part of the problem.
Depending on voluntary compliance was a noble idea in the 1700s, but it should have been codified in the federal regulations.
You don’t denounce the Roman Catholic Church without severe consequences. This goes for their employees, the Ashkenazim (Khazars). Take this from a partial Khazar himself: Do not trust us, for we’re enslaved to the RCC and the Jesuit Order, for they’ve enforced their edicts onto us since 325 and Himel II’s “Rules of Postponement”.
The court systems in the US are spelled out in the US constitution. To get rid of it would involved getting rid of the US government and replacing it with something else.
Also what moron would want to get rid of the courts…
Within the confines of the Constitution, no.
If we realize en masse that this system is broken and there is no internal fix for it, then yes.
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.
