Do you ever recall minutiae being of such moment as when winning or losing was at stake during recess? ... That is passion. That is treating life like it matters.

I see your point, but as an adult, I choose my battles with more wisdom. I see people come to blows over parking spots at the mall and I have to wonder what kind of miserable, petty, life they are treating like it matters.

Sincerely, I do not recollect ever seeing this happen. Doubtlessly, it is an occasional thing that happens...but I call Strawman on your argument.

“I choose my battles with more wisdom”

It comes down to this, again and again. You think nullification is dumb; I get it. I think it’s noble. I recommend reading up on it. At least cure yourself a little of your SCOTUS dependency.

Violence over parking spots would be petty, yes. I see the gradual nationalization of healthcare as of rather more importance. And invoking nullification is not like punching a stranger. It is vain, yes, and mostly useless. But it is ever the more admirable.
