Six Democrats voting with Republicans to reopen government is routine legislative activity with minimal constitutional impact. Rule_of_law scores 1 (appropriations process functioning), separation scores 2 (Congress exercising power of purse, but resolving rather than escalating conflict). Mechanism unknown and narrow population significantly reduce A-score (0.7 modifier). Severity low (0.8 across board) as shutdown resolution is temporary/reversible. Final A=1.84. B-score elevated by partisan framing (outrage_bait:6, media_friendliness:7) and strategic mismatch narrative (Layer2:8) emphasizing Democratic 'defection' rather than bipartisan cooperation. Three identical article titles indicate coordinated messaging. However, B=22.69 falls below threshold. This is routine legislative business with no durable constitutional mechanism, classified as Noise.
