John O. McGinnis, A Further Word Against Consensus, 71 TEXAS L. REV. 675 (1993).
 

Abstract:
In A Further Word, Professor McGinnis responds to Professors Sunstein and Strauss’s critique of his article regarding the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justices. McGinnis’s response centers on his construction of the Appointments Clause of the Constitution versus that of Professors Sunstein and Strauss. While McGinnis argues that the Senate should play a more vigorous role at the prenominational stage of the nomination process, Sunstein and Strauss argue to the contrary, their differences turning on interpretation of the words “advice and consent of the Senate.”
