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”?

    Not a fair comparison. Palestinians are holed up into ghettos, everything in or out controlled and overwhelming indiscriminate force being applied at any provokation real or constructed by the state or their paramilitary settlers.

    Consent does not play into palestine’s situation anymore than it did with rezidents of the warsaw ghetto.

      They’re farther down the rabbit hole than we are. But we’re all moving in the same direction.
