Summary

The DOJ dropped its objections to an MLS PIN settlement after the commission sharing ban, reversing its enforcement position. This represents a policy shift in real estate regulation.

Why This Score

DOJ dropping objections to an MLS PIN settlement represents routine regulatory adjustment in real estate commission practices. Rule_of_law:2 for modest enforcement position reversal without broader legal framework impact. Capture:1 for potential industry influence on enforcement stance. Policy_change mechanism adds 15% modifier but narrow scope (real estate professionals only) reduces by 15%. Base constitutional impact 2.54*0.94=2.52 well below threshold. B-score minimal: technical regulatory matter with limited public salience, novelty:2 for policy reversal, timing:1 for post-commission-ban context. Layer1:4*0.55=2.2, Layer2:1*0.45=0.45, total 2.65. Both scores far below 25, no meaningful mechanism for constitutional damage, clearly technical regulatory noise affecting narrow industry segment.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for patterns of DOJ enforcement reversals in antitrust/competition matters that might indicate broader regulatory capture, but this isolated real estate settlement adjustment requires no constitutional alarm.
