Democratic senate candidate Raphael Warnock refused to say during a debate Sunday whether he supports “court packing,” or adding seats to the Supreme Court.
“As I move all across the state … people aren’t asking me about the courts and whether we should expand the courts,” Warnock said at the debate against Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican.
“I know that’s an interesting question for people inside the beltway to discuss, but they are wondering when in the world they are going to get some COVID-19 relief,” added Warnock, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Asked again by a debate moderator whether he supports adding seats to the court, he replied: “I’m really not focused on it.”
Daily Caller @DailyCaller Georgia senate...
Majority control of the Senate next year depends on the outcome of the Loeffler-Warnock race, as well as another race in Georgia between incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Republicans have asserted that, should Democrats take control of the Senate, they will enact a series of radical measures, including expansion of the Supreme Court, tax hikes and ending the filibuster.
Republicans have to win at least one of the races in order to retain majority control of the Senate.
Should both Warnock and Ossoff win their races, Senate Democrats will likely face pressure from some in their party to expand the court.
Progressives began pushing the idea during the Democratic primaries last year. It gained steam after President Donald Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court after she died in September.
Joe Biden also refused during the presidential campaign to say whether he supports the measure. He has not staked his position on the measure since winning the election last month.
The face of black radical evil.
That is a ‘yes’
I am sure he is packing something, somewhere in summertime
.... Most think it means that when a vacancy becomes open ... You appoint a person more prone to your political beliefs in place ..... They don't understand that it means INCREASING the amount of justices on the supreme court with your chosen justices so you can RAM through whatever they want through .... What used to be the Sacred Judicial Department of our Republic ..........
Then the answer is probably yes.
A “pastor” leading people away from Christ. Some day he will hear “I never knew you”.
Well, why would he? Though not final, it's worked out pretty good for Hidin' Biden.
And that's just the way the Democrats want it.
...... Yup .... And Republicans and Conservatives keep harping on about it .... But rarely Explain what a ... "Packed Court" ... is ..... So only political junkies will be the ones that understand the term is .... And few people in the entire Nation will be concerned about even Having A .... Packet Supreme Court .... And will simply just let it happen.
Obama had no reservations stating that marriage is between one man and one woman.
If you can’t figure that out and you need to ask, you’re too dumb, naïve, or gullible to vote.
He looks like the communist Rev. Benjamin Chavis (NAACP, NAARPR - a major Communist Party front etc) who is now supposedly a Moslem.
Brothers of the same mother?
Human garbage
