What will be an ideal response?
Answers should discuss how the Supreme Court generally considers foreign policy matters to be political, not legal. Answers could indicate that the Court generally rules in favor of the president except in cases where the president has challenged free speech or commerce, such as in the Pentagon Papers and Youngstown cases. Answers could explain that the Supreme Court has been forced to get involved in more foreign policy areas because of transnational policy, immigration, and other issues brought about by September 11.
