The first line would be the government. This is what is expected in this sort of case. The defendant could then appeal, and eventually it would reach the Supreme Court, who would then decide.
This is the general process for appealing all laws thought to be unconstitutional in the US, for better or worse. Challenging it is unlikely to curry favour from any party.
When you're threatened with jail time and million dollar fines, your first thought isn't "yeah, screw it, I'll appeal". Most rational people will just play it safe and comply.
Knowing that, authorities can use it to suppress anything inconvenient that comes close to some broad definition of "dangerous" information.
I'm quite certain I'm well into the 1%, and I've looked at taking people to court several times when they've screwed me over in some way. Not once have I ever looked at the process and thought, "I can afford this!", so I choose to pay to deal with their actions myself and move on with my life. The legal system is broken.
