The entire essence of four vedas namely, Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda & Adharvanaveda, have been briefed by Lord Krishna in the shape of Bhagwat Geeta. The four vedas explicates the various functionalities and duties of human beings.

No, EVERY court is required by Oath to the US Constitution (taken by the judges, US Constitution Article 6) to pass judgment upon any law contrary to the constitution that is brought before it, whether challenged or not. And failure, or refusal of that action, is a crime (Treason: violation of oath of office); quoting Marbury vs Madison (1803) "To prescribe, or to take this oath, becomes equally a crime ... if they [judges] were to be used as the instruments, and the knowing instruments, for violating what they swear to support!"
