This is a routine federalism dispute involving standard budget reallocation litigation. The separation of powers score (3) reflects normal judicial review of executive budget decisions, while rule of law (2) captures standard administrative law processes. Civil rights (1) reflects minimal impact on educational access in one state. The mechanism is explicitly resource_reallocation with single_state scope affecting moderate population - this is ordinary federal-state budget tension, not constitutional crisis. The lawsuit represents normal checks and balances functioning as designed. B-score is elevated (18.59) due to media-friendly education funding narrative and anti-Trump resistance framing, but falls short of distraction threshold. The event lacks any mechanism creating lasting constitutional damage - it's a reversible budget dispute subject to normal judicial resolution. Classification: Noise due to A<25, routine mechanism, and standard federalism indicators.
