IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor whether DOJ antitrust enforcement becomes selective or politically weaponized—compare this settlement's terms to similar cases under previous administrations to establish baseline for fair enforcement.
Why This Score
This is routine antitrust enforcement with minimal constitutional implications. The settlement represents normal DOJ function rather than weaponization or capture. While it's a federal enforcement action, it affects a narrow commercial sector and involves standard regulatory processes. The low A-score (4) reflects minimal rule-of-law concerns, and the low B-score (7) indicates it's not designed as distraction. This is simply normal government business.
