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, 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?
Impeachment doesn’t seem to function in the modern political landscape
Impeachment is unlikely with any congress. It’s just not a sufficient method of accountability.
