Is a judgement worth the paper it’s written on when it’s ignored with zero consequences?

They are adding up. They can ignore them, and when they are out of office, the reckoning will come.

Not for the President, unfortunately. Supreme Court precedent has effectively set him as immune from prosecution, and it's not like at his age he'd serve much time anyways.

I expect a lot of his administration to spend their latter years in jail though. Siding with him has basically never paid off for anyone.

That's why they're not leaving office. Check out Venezuela for a preview of what's in store for the US.
