Supreme Court declares 2024 2025 GAA unconstitutional - will individuals be held liable?

It is more fun criticizing

The Supreme Court has declared 2024 and 2025 GAA (nastional budget) unconstitutional    But will cases be filed since these are collegial collective work.  Its just like  filing a case vs frat members before-  you are unable to determine which blow killed the neophyte.

This post is thankful that SC has put its foot down on this corrupt practices.   "Unconstitutional"  We just thought that the whole country is going down... Its about time

Will the Pres, Congress and other leaders respect the SC, and comply...
