Liberal Harvard Law School professor emeritus Laurence Tribe is holding to his position, first voiced during the Trump administration, that a vice president cannot cast a tie-breaking vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.
President Joe Biden has known Tribe since the 1980s and has sought his counsel on numerous matters over the years, including on extending the eviction moratorium last summer, according to The Washington Post.
In September 2020, Tribe authored an opinion piece for the Boston Globe arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence did not have the constitutional authority in his role as president of the Senate to break a tie to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.
