The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Baker v Carr that federal courts were incapable of answering a “political question”. This raises the possibility that if a sophisticated defendant based his defense on the presence of a “political question,” the federal courts might be precluded from hearing or deciding the case.
I’ve therefore become a student of the concept of “political”. Political choice, political decisions, political argument, political doctrine are on my radar.
