This is routine congressional appropriations process with standard partisan disagreement. The $1.2T spending bills represent normal government funding operations. ICE funding is a recurring appropriations item that appears in every budget cycle with predictable partisan splits. The 'capitulation' framing mischaracterizes normal legislative compromise. Constitutional damage is minimal: rule_of_law=1 (routine enforcement funding), separation=2 (normal legislative function with some tension over enforcement priorities), civil_rights=1 (ICE operations raise concerns but this is standard funding level). The mechanism is resource_reallocation but within normal appropriations bounds (modifier 1.15). Federal scope applies (1.2x). Severity multipliers reflect high reversibility (annual appropriations), moderate durability (one fiscal year), and low precedent (routine process). Final A-score of 6.69 is well below threshold. B-score shows moderate outrage potential around ICE funding (partisan flashpoint) but limited viral qualities. The framing as 'capitulation' and 'despite opposition' adds strategic narrative spin. However, this is fundamentally routine legislative business being presented as constitutional crisis.
