In April, the Harvard Law School professor and veteran Supreme Court litigator Laurence H. Tribe announced that he would not complete a new edition of his mammoth treatise on constitutional law, which was originally published in 1978, because so many precedents that had once seemed settled now appear at risk of being overruled.

By precedent I assume he means judicial legislation.

Has Professor Tribe ever heard of Dredd Scott?

At least Clinton had the fortitude to nominate the best liberal(s) he could to the bench. We don't need a yes woman; we need someone who can forcefully articulate and aggressively promote conservative principles.

That is exactly what Tribe means. Thank God his time has passed. Unfortunately, there's plenty more egomaniacal liberal activist scumbags where he came from.
