Monitor whether Supreme Court justices respond publicly to this pressure and track the actual birthright citizenship decision for evidence of influence or institutional independence.
Public statements seeking judicial 'loyalty' represent norm erosion around judicial independence but lack direct institutional mechanism beyond rhetorical pressure. The A-score (22) reflects moderate separation-of-powers concern but is limited by the norm_erosion_only mechanism and temporary nature. The B-score (69) is high due to strong media-friendliness, clear timing overlap with substantive governance actions (IRS reallocation, diplomatic purge), and established pattern of court-pressure tactics showing high intentionality.
