Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Friday said that voters don’t deserve to know if he would attempt to pack the Supreme Court if he wins in November and Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the high court.
Biden was asked in Las Vegas, Nevada, about his position on packing the court with extra justices -- something that has seen support from a number of Democrats, particularly since President Trump announced his intention to confirm Barrett to the seat left vacant by the death of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
JOE BIDEN DOUBLES DOWN ON COURT PACKING: 'YOU'LL KNOW MY POSITION' AFTER THE ELECTION
Biden, who had opposed court packing in the primary, refused to answer the question on Thursday, saying “you’ll know my position on court-packing the day after the election.”
On Friday, a KTNV reporter asked him again about whether he backs court packing and said: "This is the number one thing that I've been asked about from viewers in the past couple of days.”
“Well you’ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans who don't want me continuing to talk about what they’re doing to the court right now,” Biden responded
“Well, sir don’t the voters deserve to know…?” reporter Ross DiMattei asked.

Where’s Hunter?
Is this his “basket of Deplorables” moment?
Hear that peasants? You don’t deserve to know what I intend to do.
You stupid bastards.
First, Biden’s arrogance knows no bounds. Second, he lied about this being the first time ever that a president nominated someone to SCOTUS during an election.
Demented Joe shoots himself in the foot. His hubris makes him think we are here to serve him when the reality is that the President is there to serve the people as an Executive. For 47 years he has enriched his family and friends by using his office. Let’s get out the vote and blow away the POS poser.
Under NORMAL circumstances..that would be the END of the Biden campaign right there..that statement alone would do it, but since half the country are commie buffoons, it probably wont even matter
Love how Democrats pretend to care so much about democracy when a key part of their success is hiding their true plans from voters.
Hoping POTUS puts this Biden screw-up into a commercial ASAP...
This is equivalent to Mitt’s 47% comment...
Not telling is telling what plans the party has in mind.
What is wrong with this picture?
"The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary, as distinguished from technical, meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition [emphasis added].." —United States v. Sprague, 1931.
"The Constitution on this hypothesis is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” —Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1819.
"Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure." —Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823."
"Beware of English-to-English “translations” of the Constitution!" —me
The remedy for misguided, desperate, elite Democrats trying to destroy the constitutional republic…
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
Where are the ads showing the Constitution being torn up or burned with Biden’s statement playing over it?
I doubt the retarded head banger even knows himself
San Fran Nan busy setting up Sleepy Joe for a dirt nap or.... a jacket with sleeves tied in the back?
That was exactly my thought as I opened up this thread.
I’m not exactly an optimist, but when Hillary made that remark back in 2016, I thought “this may just have cost her the election.”
