This case involves the Supreme Court hearing Alabama's appeal to execute someone found intellectually disabled, directly implicating Atkins v. Virginia (2002) precedent that executing intellectually disabled individuals violates the Eighth Amendment. Rule_of_law scores 4.5 as the state is challenging established constitutional protections. Civil_rights scores maximum 5 as this involves fundamental human rights and cruel/unusual punishment protections for a vulnerable population. Separation scores 3.5 as it tests judicial authority to enforce constitutional limits on state executive power. Violence scores 4 given the irreversible nature of execution. Precedent severity multiplier 1.3 applies as the outcome could weaken Atkins protections. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for judicial action that could reshape constitutional doctrine. Federal scope modifier 1.3 as Supreme Court rulings bind all states. B-score is elevated (26.4) due to high outrage potential around executing disabled individuals and strong media appeal of death penalty cases, but the constitutional substance is genuine and profound. D-score of +16.1 places this solidly in List A territory, though the mixed flag acknowledges significant public attention. This is a substantive constitutional case with real stakes for vulnerable populations and Eighth Amendment jurisprudence.
