They do it all the time but the first words of the constitution after the preamble are

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Nullifying laws is certainly a legislative power and thus the SC cannot have it. Legislators can read the constitution as well as judges and laws passed by congress should stand. If the public disapproves they can vote out the legislators unlike with SC judges who are appointed for life.
