Why This Score
This is a state-initiated lawsuit alleging federal under-enforcement (not overreach), reflecting ordinary federalism litigation rather than constitutional harm; it lacks election, rights, or power-concentration dimensions. It also lacks meme-ability or strategic distraction value, making it low-salience on both scales.
