should require that any federal program which is not authorized by the Constitution be 'dismantled.'

Perhaps you feel they should have that power but they do not. The Founders had a better idea.

The Supreme Court's single purpose is to determine if a law brought before them conflicts with the constitution. They have no power to initiate an action.

Which is exactly what I said. They cannot initiate anything; 'just say no' to things that are not within the federal government's authority.

Or are you saying that saying "this is not allowed because the Constitution does not grant that authority to the federal government" is "initiating an action?" If so, then you're welcome to your . . . understanding.
