• W22163641 abstract "Platonic sphere that is wholly disconnected from any actual remedy that might make a difference in the real world. AB I understand Ely's position, he is not a rights essentialist because the substantive rights he defines, although limited, are judicially enforceable. On the other hand, interpretive authority theorists tend toward rights essentialism because under their theory, rights are taken to exist even though they make no difference in the outcome of real law suits. Recall that the political question doctrine does work only when, but for the doctrine, the losing party in a law suit would have been victorious. Thus, a judge relying on the political question doctrine must start by asserting that a right has been violated. But it is precisely in the cases where the political question doctrine makes a difference that the judge must also deprive the right of efficacy. Put differently, giving the political question doctrine work to do always means frustrating the work that rights would otherwise do. And if rights do no work, one might fairly ask, what is their point?51 Of course, the fact that the rights are not judicially enforceable does not mean that they are not enforceable at all. Judicially unenforceable rights can have real world consequences if enforced by the political branches. Indeed, scholars who have defended broad interpretive authority for Congress and the President rely on just this point.52 Their claim is that Congress and the President will provide better protection for these rights than courts would. 53 Unfortunately, however, this assertion, even if true, does not overcome the rights essentialism objection. The political question doctrine is a judicial creation, and we must therefore evaluate its coherence from the perspective of the judges who created it. The doctrine does work only when, from the perspective of these judges, rights go unenforced. Hence, a judge who fails to reach the merits because of the political question doctrine must believe that are rights out there that retain their status despite the absence of any real world consequences attached to those rights. Many 51. See Wayne McCormack, The Political Question DoctrineJurisprudentially, 70 DET. MERCY L. REV. 793,808 (1993) (arguing that lilt is the lack of effect on institutionally recognized relationships that makes the political question provision nonlaw, and it is in that sense that ... the courts hold a provision to be nonlaw when they say that it gives rise to a political question. ) 52. See, e.g., TUSHNET, supra note 46, at 170-77. 53. I discuss the interpretive authority position from the perspective of these scholars below. 54. Perhaps real world consequences do attach to judicial declarations of rights, even when judges do not enforce them, because the political branches will be influenced by the advise provided by judges.
