Becase politics, as such, are not addressed in the Constitution.

However, insofar as adjudicating actions arising from political matters (e.g.: the contested election of Bush v. Gore) the Court CAN arrive at judgments and decisions based on existing law and the Constitution as it is written. Arriving at a judgment on that election did NOT involve a political question, but a PROCEDURAL one.
