Political Question

Prostitute

The determination by a court (particularly the supreme court) that an issue raised about the conduct of public business is a “political” issue to be determined by the legislature (including congress) or the executive branch and not by the courts. since 1960 the u.s. supreme court has been willing to look at some questions previously considered “political,” such as “one-man-one-vote,” as constitutional issues.
