Joe Biden will pack the courts. To paraphrase a famous line from the former Vice President, “If you don’t know whether I’ll pack the courts or not, then you ain’t smart.” His campaign’s continuous unwillingness to answer the question tells us everything we need to know, as our EIC noted this week.
But he has taken it a step further in a recent interview. Not only is he unwilling to answer the question, he actually said that voters do not DESERVE an answer. Moreover, he believes the only people who are asking the question are Republicans, which is a direct insult to Democrats who have been asking the question incessantly since Ruth Ginsburg died. He ends off the short exchange by claiming a Supreme Court Justice has not been nominated during an election before. In fact, it has been done 27 times.
“Sir, I’ve got to ask you about packing the courts, and I know that you said yesterday you aren’t going to answer the question until after the election, but this is the number one thing that I’ve been asked about from viewers in the last couple of days,” the reporter started.
“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 replied.
The reporter tried to reiterate the point by starting to ask, “Well, sir, don’t the voters deserve to know…”
Biden interrupted, “No, they don’t deserve… I’m not going to play his game. He’d love me to talk about… and I’ve, I’ve already said something on, on pack the courts, court packing, he’d love that to be the discussion instead of what he’s doing now.”

I find it odd the media keeps asking him that question he answers the same every time so why that question. it’s not like the media gives a whip what he is going to do or maybe they do

Big Media reporters are handed scripts to read, just as the pedophile is.
Must be having a good day, he usually can’t fit one coherent sentence into 45 seconds.
Going forward, it should be assumed and stated that they will pack the courts and see if they deny it.
“Qui tacet consentit” - roughly translated: Silence denotes consent
If I were a journalist I would frame my questions to him “Since you’re obviously in favor of packing the court....” “Since you refuse to reject the idea of packing the court....”
Put him in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” position. You won’t get the truth out of him (in any eventuality) but at least you can get famous and watch him squirm.
Keep asking the question daily. Ask Pocahontas about the not answering a question strategy
