Will, this is getting difficult, either intentionally or not. You seem to be either willfully ignorant of the Constitution, its basic themes and how it has worked for the past 226 year or you never learned about it.

Many of the things you refer to are laws that have not been heard before SCOTUS. School segregation? When there are still open court cases from the 60's and 70's still being imposed on various school systems around the country?

As far as suing big corporations before SCOTUS, well, you've never been able to do that. SCOTUS never hears first tier cases. They're not designed to. You can appeal something to SCOTUS, and I can give you all sorts of examples of cases involving corporations from the past 6 years.
