Joe Biden has blatantly admitted that he does not believe voters "deserve to know" if he plans to pack the court.

Biden: "You've been asked by the viewers who are probably Republican who don't want me to continue to talk about what they're doing to the court right now," asked a local reporter, shown in new video from an KTNV Las Vegas.

Reporter: "Well sir, don't the voters deserve to know —

Biden: "No, they don't — I'm not gonna play his game," Biden responded before insisting that he has "already said something on court packing."

Both Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris have repeatedly refused to answer the question of whether or not the plan to pack the court if elected. Most recently, Harris pivoted to the conversation to the number of black federal judges appointed by Trump, and a false story about Abraham Lincoln. when asked this question during the vice presidential debate.

Comment: Okey Dokey Joe...but then he said: "Republicans are 'packing the court now"! [No such thing!]

Joe Biden commented on criticism directed at him in response to his previous statement that he would not talk about the potential Democrat strategy to add Supreme Court seats until after the election.

Biden was on his way to board a plane to his next stop on the campaign trail, and stopped briefly to say this to reporters:
"Look, there's always ... court packing going on right now. It's going on with the Republicans packing the court now; it's not constitutional what they're doing. We should be focused on what's happening right now... <cough> and the fact is that the only packing going on is this court is being packed now by the Republicans are packing it after the vote has already begun. I'm gonna stay focused on it, so we don't take our eyes off the ball here."

The Republicans have no plans to add to the Supreme Court at this time.
They plan to fill a currently vacant Supreme Court seat left by the death of one of its justices.

At no point in the short interview did Biden comment on what the Democratic party may or may not do after election time regarding the issue.

For someone with dementia you would think he would be exempt from the mask. I imagine he needs all the oxygen he can get! So hopefully it will just speed up the process and he will become a dribbling wreck before long.

Christian83 That is not going to improve things, for then we'll have Kamala, who is also a dribbling wreck.

Only in her case, the dribble is something other than saliva or spittle.

sottreader Oh don't get me wrong, I completely agree. I was just thinking that dementia would surely be a mask exempt condition.

What the heck is packing the court?

Nathan Carney ‘packing’ the court is increasing the total number so that by adding more the majority can be those newly appointed. This is not what Trump is doing which is simply replacing one judge who died. He has not increased the total number.

Ok, thanks, I'll look this up.

Off hand I seem to remember FDR did this, but perhaps not.

Nathan Carney · 2020-10-13T04:45:37Z

Ok, was done in the 1860's.

Requires Congressional approval of course.

Nathan Carney So they think they could win the WH and congress.

Or it's the opposite.

The election has been decided.

When Biden won the primary, I had to ask, is the Dem. Party sandbagging?.

Look at Bidens disagreeable response.

The neoliberal and neoconservative mindset is now the poster child for wishful thinking, with all it's predatorial and psychotic aspects.

Trump has always played the disagreeable game with much more fluidity and grace because he has some self-awareness about it.
