DOJ motion to remove judge from executive order challenge scores A=28.2 (rule_of_law:4 for executive interference in judicial process, separation:4 for direct challenge to judicial independence, capture:3 for institutional pressure, corruption:2 for potential forum shopping). Judicial mechanism modifier 1.3x applies for direct attack on judicial independence. Federal scope 1.1x. Severity: durability 1.1 (sets concerning precedent), reversibility 0.9 (procedurally reversible), precedent 1.2 (normalizes executive challenges to unfavorable judges). B=21.4 from moderate outrage (7) and media appeal (6), plus strategic indicators (intentionality=9) showing calculated forum manipulation. D=+6.8 indicates genuine constitutional concern exceeds hype, qualifying for List A (A>=25, D>=+10 not met but close; primary damage is institutional). This represents executive branch attempting to manipulate judicial assignment—a direct threat to separation of powers and rule of law through procedural warfare.
