Brest and Levinson's central theme takes the form of a question: Do primarily apolitical decisionmaking procedures exist by which judges can reach and defend legal conclusions that are both substantively acceptable and politically legitimate?
While generously encouraging students to come to their own answers, the authors answer that they are skeptical "about the legitimating power of process and, indeed, about the meaning of `legitimacy' itself" (p.
In short, for depth, currency, and thoroughness of legal coverage, the edge goes to Brest and Levinson, but Murphy, Fleming, and Harris still has a pedagogical edge for undergraduate instruction.

Their view was trounced by many academic critics, perhaps most notably by Paul Brest in his widely-cited 1980 Boston University Law Review article, The Misconceived Quest for Original Understanding, [FN3] and by H. Jefferson Powell in his 1985 Harvard Law Review article, The Original Understanding of Original Intent.
According to Brest, originalism was unworkable because it was practically impossible to ascertain and then aggregate the "intention votes" of a multitude of framers, much less to carry them forward to apply to a current controversy.
True, Brest berated strict textualism along with strict intentionalism, though his criticisms here are much more limited and less persuasive.
