Trump Flouting Court Rulings at Historic Rate
Track specific court orders being defied and whether Congress exercises oversight powers (contempt citations, appropriations restrictions, or impeachment referrals) to enforce judicial authority.
This scores as high-A (86) because systematic non-compliance with court orders directly attacks rule of law (5/5) and separation of powers (5/5) with maximum severity multipliers—it creates permanent precedent that courts can be ignored, is difficult to reverse without impeachment/removal, and establishes durable authoritarian playbook. The pattern nature makes it structural damage rather than single incident. B-score (39) is moderate because while media-friendly and outrage-inducing, the summary lacks specific incidents making it harder to verify as intentional distraction versus legitimate reporting of constitutional crisis.
