Abstract
RESUMEN En este artículo criticamos la defensa del control de constitucionalidad presentado por Cristina Lafont en su libro Democracy Without Shortcuts (OUP 2020). Por un lado, analizamos el caso de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos para demostrar que no funciona como la tesis deliberativa de Lafont asume. Por otro lado, desarrollamos dos críticas normativas y una metodológica. En relación a las críticas normativas, procedemos primero a problematizar la asociación de ideas de autogobierno y democracia con cuestiones de aquiescencia e identificación con el derecho, y después examinamos críticamente la idea de igualdad política que respalda la propuesta de Lafont. Finalmente, invitamos a la autora a explorar el potencial deliberativo que ofrecen las diferencias en el diseño institucional de distintos mecanismos de judicial review. ABTRACT In this article we criticise the defence of judicial review offered by Cristina Lafont in her book Democracy Without Shortcuts (OUP 2020). On one side, we analyse the case law of the Supreme Court of the United States to show that it does not work as Lafont’s thesis assumes. On another side, we develop two normative critics and one methodological. In regards to the normative, we first problematise the linkage of ideas of self-government and democracy with the issue of allegiance and agreement to the law and we then critically examine the idea of political equality that underpins Lafont’s proposal. Finally, we suggest engaging in discussions on institutional design of judicial review to explore the deliberative potential of alternative mechanisms to strong judicial review of legislation.
