Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Democratic Lawmakers

Grand jury refusal to indict represents normal judicial independence, not constitutional damage. Rule_of_law:4 (grand jury independence functioning), separation:3 (checks working as designed), capture:2 (DOJ prosecution attempt), corruption:1 (minimal without evidence of actual wrongdoing). Mechanism_modifier:0.7 for norm_erosion_only without concrete institutional breakdown. A-score 12.88 below threshold. B-score 23.98 driven by partisan framing ('Democratic lawmakers'), outrage narrative construction, and mismatch between headline drama and normal grand jury function. Grand juries frequently decline indictments - this is feature not bug of system. Insufficient information about underlying 'illegal military orders video' to assess actual constitutional harm. Classification: Noise due to A<25, norm_erosion_only mechanism, and event representing normal judicial process being framed as constitutional crisis.
