Why This Score
This is a statement/quote from a sitting justice reflecting rhetorical judicial independence sentiment, not an actual mechanism of constitutional damage (no ruling, no enforcement action, no structural change). A-score stays low with norm_erosion_only mechanism reducing severity further. B-score is elevated due to high media repeatability, quote virality, and narrative pattern-matching to ongoing judicial-executive conflict framing, though intentionality is low since this is an unprompted judicial remark rather than a coordinated distraction effort.
