In a recent post, I argued that administrative adjudication might be unconstitutional as a violation of the judicial power and due process.Upon reflection, however, I have come to the conclusion that the argument that such adjudication violates the judicial power probably does not work, but that the claim that it violates due process is still viable. judges are never free to exercise strong discretion even in cases where no legal rule points to a clear outcome-the soundest theory of law appeals to the moral and political philosophy that undergirds institutions-legal principles exercise a gravitational pull on judicial behavior (there are right answers in Formalism sees adjudication as the uncontroversial application of accepted principles to known facts to derive the outcome in the manner of a deductive syllogism.

Adjudication is, then, a device which gives formal and institutional expression to the influence of reasoned argument in human affairs. As such it assumes a burden of rationality not borne any other form of social ordering. A decision which is the product of reasoned argument must be prepared itself to meet the test of reason. particularly clear what judicial statesmanship is or why it matters.
