It would seem so on the face of it, but you're forgetting how law is interpreted.
The Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of what is and isn't constitutional. If a lower court rules one way and the Supreme Court overturns the ruling due to constitutionality issues, neither the lower court nor the parties involved are necessarily guilty of a crime. They are simply bound to the ruling of the Supreme Court.
For instance, if the police search your home without a warrant they aren't necessarily guilty of a crime despite the search being illegal. Their actions are simply deemed unconstitutional and any evidence gathered is inadmissible in court.
