Biden still does not support court packing, White House confirms

President Joe Biden does not support Democrats pushing to expand the Supreme Court, the White House announced on Saturday.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the president's position on the issue during an Air Force Once press gaggle. Some Democrats have argued for court-packing in recent years, but those calls were amplified following SCOTUS' decision to overrule key abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on Friday.

Many of Biden's fellow Democrats have argued for expanding the court to offset the influence of the three justices appointed under former President Donald Trump's administration.

"So, I know I've… I was asked this question yesterday, and I've been asked it before — and I think the president himself … about expanding the court," Jean-Pierre said to reporters. "That is something that the president does not agree with. That is not something that he wants to do."

Until he suddenly does.

Because it’s not him. It’s his advisors running things.

Still doesn't? Since when has he *not* supported court packing? Or maybe I've got that wrong, and he just doesn't support the SCOTUS at all.

He doesn’t want to totally destroy the mid-terms. If the Dems “some how” do well in the mid-terms than the court is going to be packed

Millions of Americans have just had the restrictions against bearing firearms nullified. 60 million more Americans would have had that right if they hadn't been aborted.

Absolutely. Same band, same tune. It’s just the elitists telling you that you didn’t see what you saw, you didn’t hear what you heard, and you mustn’t think differently than what they want you to think.

Liberals on twitter are bitching about this and telling Warren to take point on it.

They don’t understand it’s the left’s biggest money maker.

Yep. I was going to post the same thing. They’ll use an unlikely midterm victory to say it was a result of the Dobbs ruling and, as such, SCOTUS is out of touch with American values and needs to be expanded.
