Not precisely. It's more in the category of "the exact boundaries between legislative and judicial power haven't been explored". There are a fair number of examples of that in US law, because both sides are reluctant to push the issue and have it clearly established against them (the political process will generally favor the stance which makes most sense to the populace).
