Tribe thought that the Massachusetts Democrat Party “15% Rule,” which failed in Committee in the Massachusetts legislature, was a “stupid rule” until he found that an attack on it was underway which would have nullified Ted Kennedy’s 1982 nomination, at which point, in the face of the “Times, Places, and Manners” clause in the Constitution, he completely flip-flopped in the hopes that Kennedy would appoint him to the SCOTUS.
Sounds like Tribe could rival Arthur Schlesinger as the Biggest Kennedy Brown Noser
