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”?

    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.
