Advice and Consent by Lee Epstein
Discussing everything from constitutional background, to crucial differences in the nomination of judges and justices, to the role of the Judiciary Committee in vetting nominees, the author provides information that helps to understand the partisan rows that surround the judicial nominating process.
"This is a superb and even indispensable resourceCareful, precise, objective, and nugget-filled, it's a wonderful guide to past, present, and future debates. If you want to know about judicial appointments, this is the best place to start."—Cass R. Sunstein, University of Chicago Law School
"As political scientists Lee Epstein and Jeffrey Segal show in their new and timely book, Advice and Consent, the modern era of politicized nomination battles is nothing new: Politics has suffused the judicial appointment process for 200 years. Writing in pristine, jargon-free language, Epstein and Segal use historical illustrations and the latest quantitative methods to inject some much-needed context and evidence into the current debate about judicial appointments."—Sam Rosenfeld, The American Prospect
"An important and timely study that adds an essential framework for understanding contemporary slugfests over judicial appointments. Beautifully presented and argued." —Louis Fisher, author of American Constitutional Law
"Thoughtful.... Provides illuminating details on the history and merits of the confirmation process."—New York Post
