What is the test for a court to determine whether a matter is a political matter?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Sneaker Circus, Inc. v. Carter, 566 F.2d 396 (2nd Cir. 1977):

Prominent on the surface of any case held to involve a political question is found a textually demonstrable constitutional commitment of the issue to a coordinate political department; or a lack of judicially discoverable and manageable standards for resolving it; or the impossibility of deciding without an initial policy determination of a kind clearly for nonjudicial discretion; or the impossibility of a court's undertaking independent resolution without expressing lack of the respect due coordinate branches of government; or an unusual need for unquestioning adherence to a political decision already made; or the potentiality of embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question. (Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. at 217, 82 S.Ct. at 710 (1962)).
