Thank you for your always well-argued rationales!

Question: Would it even be relevant if the CC would vote a budget (or NCL) info action unconstitutional?

The constitution guardrails only speak about the dReps having to approve them. So, it seems like the CC and SPO votes on them are completely irrelevant (but interesting especially if accompanied by a detailed rationale, nevertheless).
