Yes, because if the law is not enforceable it is just an idea/statement of policy. That doesn't mean a whole lot.

A politician can enact a law that says it's illegal to go outside wearing pants without underwear underneath, but who is going to check, and will the officers waste time enforcing this law?

Judicial efficiency.
A "good" law needs to be enforceable to avoid misinterpretation by the courts. If its badly written, then it may be used for some entirely different purpose.

The only real power of the judicial branch of government is respect. As soon as unjust laws start being enforced all branches of gov loose their perceived legitimacy and you end up with either anarchy or dictatorship.
