[Miguel Schor]

Two great places to start in thinking about this issue are Mark A. Graber,
The Non-Majoritarian Difficulty: Legislative Deference to the Judiciary, 7
Stud. Am. Pol. Development 35 (1993) and Keith E. Whittington, Political
Foundations of Judicial Supremacy: the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and
Constitutional Leadership in the United States (2007).
