The court plays its role in maintain inequality. Although there are many things on the books, the laws, the constitution and so forth, that establish the formal equality of people. And the formal equality as been extended to a wider and wider portion of the population, sometimes at the resitance of the court. But at the end the question is not about enforcing existing laws, it's about capitalism. Capitalism breeds inequality. In its nature you have a small coterie of people who own the means that everyone else in our society need to live. Unless you address that, inequality will remain running rampant in our society, regardless of how much equality there is formally through the laws.
