Supreme Court Nears Decision on Trump Administration Power Cases

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore speculation about pending cases. Only track actual Supreme Court rulings when they are issued, then assess their constitutional impact based on the specific holding and remedies ordered.
Why This Score
This is a meta-story about pending judicial review with zero actual governance action or ruling. It generates anticipatory anxiety and fills airtime but contains no constitutional harm event to score. The massive media-volume mismatch (extensive coverage of 'cases pending') versus zero substantive governance change flags this as pure distraction/filler content during a week with multiple high-A events (election order blocks, ACA subsidies expiring, birthright citizenship ruling).
