THIS!! Not only is there an entire doctrine in US con law called the political question, but more generally, there are political contexts to every law—law, like everything else, is the product of politics.

Yes exactly, it was a subskeet as was reading a liberal constitutional lawyer’s oped with the main message of “this is unconstitutional” - rather than we need political orgnising

This is also where doctrinal legal scholarship is at its limits and actually counter-productive and even harmful if no critical angle or theoretical engagement.
