They have ruled lots of things illegal - that's what happens when you make laws and have a judicial system.
What you mean is that no-one has yet said that these systems are definitely illegal. If that was all that was required then we wouldn't need courts and if it transpires that using Phorm is breaking existing US law then it doesn't require a decision from Congress to prosecute those responsible.
Congress are involved because the USA doesn't have an equivalent of the ICO. It takes a court to decide if the law has been broken but Congress can issue guidelines or look to creating or ammending laws if required.
