When I invoke the Constitution, it means exactly what I want it to mean.

Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) on Sunday addressed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden declining to say whether he would expand the Supreme Court if elected, saying Republicans have bragged about "packing the court" under President Trump.
"The American people have watched the Republicans packing the court for the past three and a half years, and they brag about it," Durbin said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We are dealing with people on the court, packing into the court, with little or no qualifications for a long time."

Dick Turdbrain needs to review the definition of packing. This election is about the Democrats aka Demoncrats making this Republic a one party state forever.
Thanks to OBUMMER who left 140 openings!
Elections have consequences Dick.
Sure sounds like they intend to do so at their earliest opportunity...
Sad, sorry state of affairs to which we’ve allowed ourselves to be brought.
We are so far down the rabbit hole, I’m not at all certain we can survive as a Nation, at this point. And, THAT would be a great loss to the world.
It’s called “The Constitution,” Turbin.
Trump should threaten to do it if Joe doesn’t answer the question, which not answering the question means Joe and democrats will pack the court with radical liberal judges who will not respect the constitution and will rule depending on how their party leaders wish.
If it’s good for the gander, it’s good for the goose.
It’s also official. They are psychotic.
The National Infanticide move wasn’t a good move for Democrats either.
Not packing. Appointing judges to replace those retired or deceased.

Ladies and Gentlemen - here is this week’s official focus-group tested Democrat party talking point: “The Republicans are already packing the Supreme Court.” Joe Biden even managed to read it somewhat coherently off of his teleprompter yesterday. Expect to hear it over and over again.
The fact is Donald Trump released his proposed Supreme Court nominations during his first run, unlike Biden who avoids any questions about that topic. It was no secret that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on death’s door in 2018. When American voters elected a majority Republican Senate they knew exactly what they were voting for.
Not that the will of the American voters if of any consequence to the Democrats, particularly with regards to the Supreme Court.
Yes and the voters gave them the Senate majority to do it,Air Brain
That would be a truly massive nail in the Republic's coffin.
What Durbin means is that Biden is justified in adding 5 or 6 leftwing radicals to the supreme court without waiting for vacancies.
And to appellate courts as well. Instead of the rule of law we’ll have the rule of democrats.
The Constitution is being given a “stress test “ for sure.
Durban the Turban needs to refer back to the days of Omuslim to see how things work ..... he’s just a sore loser like all Demon Rats have been because Trump won.
The full quote from Obama when he was confirmed the new President was, “Elections have consequences. We won, you lost. Get over it.”
My constitutional amendment proposal:
The Supreme Court shall not have more than nine justices.
Drop a bill in the hoppers and let Democrats try to stop it.
Changing the meaning of words and phrases again. Replacement of a vacancy is not packing.
