Why This Score
This event reflects the judiciary functioning as an effective check on an executive overreach attempt (Trump's coal-plant EO), resulting in low constitutional damage since the harmful action was blocked before taking effect. It also lacks meme-ability or emotional charge for hype purposes, making it a low-salience procedural/legal news item rather than a genuine List A or List B event.
