On Mondays broadcast of the Fox News Channels Special Report, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) vowed that he will not vote for packing the courts or ending the filibuster if Democrats take the majority in the Senate. Manchin also expressed opposition to defunding the police, Medicare for all, and the Green New Deal.

Nice thing to say. But who believes him in the face of intense party discipline?
Great. Hopefully not those economy killing tax hikes eother
That just made it a WHOLE LOT harder to add new justices.
Need a simple majority in both house and senate, I believe.
We will still need at least one GA Senate seat.
Too bad Joe is wobbly on the 2nd amendment, he’d make a good Republican.

Unless, of course, someone puts the slightest bit of pressure in him. Then Joe will fold like every other moderate Democrat.
The court packing stuff was always GOTV red meat for both sides. Why would the Dems need to do that with Roberts as CJ? The last big case, on Trannies, they won 6-3 with Gorsuch in the majority and Kavanaugh writing a glowing pro homo “dissent”. So the real vote was 7-2 basically.
Dems will sound a moderate tone with GA Senate runoffs on the menu.
Yeah? Bullcrap. This eunuch will knuckle under the minute someone gives him a cross look.
“..But who believes him in the face of intense party discipline?...”
When he gets that phone call from Soros and the check clears his account, he’ll change....they all do.
I wouldnt trust this asshole for all the tea in China.
He votes with Schumer ALL the time.
Must be up in 2022.
Hes lying. Hes trying to give people a reason to let the rats win the GA Senate seats.
Manchin never tells the truth.
Im wondering myself how many dems just might be disgusted enough to switch parties once its safe to do so.
Thats OK. Romney will
It was always obvious that Manchin would never go along with these ridiculous schemes. Having said that, if Biden gets in I certainly hope the five strict constructionist justices have airtight security around them.
He is providing cover for the Democrats.
It is hard to accept that a state that Trump wins by 40 points also voted for this sleazy politican.
