‘The voters of this country should be heard,” Joe Biden said this weekend as he exhorted Senate Republicans to block a vote on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. That might be clever messaging—who doesn’t want voters to be heard? But there’s one problem: Unlike Mr. Trump and Senate Republicans, Mr. Biden has given so few details about his Supreme Court vision that voters are left guessing at what a vote for him means for the judiciary.
Start with appointments. Mr. Biden has resisted naming individuals he’d consider for the Supreme Court, saying it would subject them to undue criticism. Fair enough—Mr. Trump’s practice of making his short-list public is not required of other candidates. But the absence of specifics raises a fair suspicion that he doesn’t want voters to know that his nominees would be well left of center.
Mr. Biden’s chief stated requirement for a Supreme Court appointee is based on race and gender, not judicial philosophy or qualifications. His website says he would appoint the first African-American woman to the Supreme Court. That’s his prerogative, but it doesn’t help voters concerned about the impact of the Court on their lives; race and gender are not a proxy for views of the law.
Given those requirements, legal observers have speculated that two women top his list: 44-year-old Justice Leondra Kruger of the California Supreme Court and 50-year-old federal district court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, whom President Obama reportedly vetted for Justice Scalia’s vacancy. Both have significant records, but by avoiding names Mr. Biden can please his base with race and gender symbolism and avoid a debate on the law.

To Biden’s credit, he may have heard the question as, “How do you feel about packing fudge?”
The Idiot Biden hasn’t been told yet if he will go along with it.
By refusing to say, he is saying yes.
Didn’t AOC say that after Biden was elected, they could push him to do anything ‘they’ want. I suspect she would be right.
You mean Trump’s second inaugural? Right?
“‘The voters of this country should be heard,””
So should the RAT party candidate for President. Instead he hides in his basement. Trump should mock Biden for not coming out and campaigning as much as Trump does. Call him a coward, afraid to face the public and answer questions without a teleprompter.
People are still pretending that Biden would have any say in anything?
Well, ain’t they spayshul. Bless their great big heads and the air that fills them.
Biden only has the chi com card and the cheating card left. His campaign is starting to run out of gas. PT survived the self inflected wound of the Woodward tape.
I thought he would not make it to the convention. They'll keep him alive till after if he wins.
...‘The voters of this country should be heard,” Joe Biden also stated.
Of course he’d go along with it. There is no perfidy to which this depraved leftwad bucket of dog crap would not sink.
That’s because he can’t remember what his party’s scheme is. Hell, he probably doesn’t understand what “court packing” means at this point.
Biden does what he is told. That’s how he got where he is today.
