Constitutional Alignment: 80·Factual Reliability: 91

Holding

Because S. 4082 restricts warrantless government surveillance of American citizens, bars federal purchase of Americans' data from brokers, and strengthens warrant protections, it advances Articles VII, II, and III; scored as normative legal text (85/15), it earns 82 — America First, tempered only by its extension of Section 702 authority to 2030.
