Why This Score
This is an announcement of a lawsuit, not a constitutional event itself. Rule_of_law (3) reflects normal judicial process functioning. Separation (4) captures federalism tension over health policy authority. Civil_rights (3) reflects potential vaccine access/mandate implications, though specifics are absent. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for judicial action that hasn't produced outcome. Scope 1.1 for multi-state coordination. Base 18.08 * 1.15 * 1.1 = 22.87. B-score: High outrage_bait (7) and media_friendliness (8) for partisan health conflict. Layer2 pattern_match (7) fits resistance litigation template. Intentionality moderate (7) given coordinated announcement timing and framing. Final B 24.20. Both scores sub-25, D=-1.33 near-neutral. This is a lawsuit announcement about unspecified policy changes - classic noise pattern of legal theater without substantive constitutional impact yet.
