IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Distinguish between attempted harms (blocked by courts) and actual harms. Track whether the administration respects this ruling or attempts workarounds through state-level pressure or different legal theories.
Why This Score
This is a COURT VICTORY AGAINST the administration, not an administration action causing constitutional damage. The Supreme Court blocking Trump's voter data effort is the constitutional system WORKING—separation of powers functioning as designed. Coverage framing this as major news represents media amplification of a defensive win rather than substantive governance harm. A=0 because no damage occurred; the attempt was stopped. B=24 due to high media-friendliness and volume-mismatch relative to actual governance impact.
