Following Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg’s death on Sept. 18, some Democrats have pressed Biden to consider “packing the court” with liberal justices if Trump’s Republican party fills Ginsburg’s seat ahead of the election and creates a 6-3 conservative majority.On Thursday, Biden told reporters that revealing it now would distract voters from focusing on Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the top court.
Biden has said that because the election is only weeks away, the winner of the contest should be the one who picks Ginsburg’s successor. Democrats say that because Supreme Court justices hold their seats for life, a 6-3 conservative majority could threaten access to healthcare, abortion, and civil rights.

This response by any politician is disqualifying
The Supreme court is the last resort to correct mistakes made by previous courts, but sadly now only takes a very few cases (2%?).The court should be expanded so it can take care of more cases by splitting cases, but spec constitutional cases en banc.
Dumbest quote ever!
This coward is too weak to pack the courts. I'm not holding my breath.
His decision is under audit.
Sounds just like the Obama playbook.
Well yes because nobody knows for sure that this nominee will get seated. She has a very shaded past living in a cult home with extreme views. Not good.
Pack it only if it starts doing crazy right wing out of step with US opinions
“He’s gonna put y’all back in chains” is Biden’s actual plan.
I don’t really care, do you? Biden/Harris 2020 MAKE AMERICA NOT NAZI GERMANY AGAIN.
Biden should answer but he must first know: Will the court be pretty balanced, 5-4 for Conservatives. That is fair and wise, Or Unfair and unbalanced at 6-3 for Conservatives while McConell breaks the rules? CountryOverParty ChecksAndBalances
Lol
Why not do all your policies that way Joe. Don’t answer any questions.
JoeBiden you should say, 'at this point in time, there is NO PLAN but if the issue were to arise...bc currently it is up to the senate to change the rules!!! and it passes!! then it would be within your duties to appoint new judges as prez' do not feed into the fire...use logic.
I will give Friday’s forecast on Saturday.
Why is something this important a secret?
Why? Maybe he doesn’t know yet. He can decide once he’s in and sees who is in the senate and etc
trump has been saying he will tell us all about his better and cheaper healthcare plan in 'two weeks' for the past 4 years. I can wait for Biden's answer.
Hahahaha No.
If he wins its pertinent, if he doesn’t its irrelevant!
POS
In my opinion, given the Republican obstruction of President Obama's judicial nominees, along with the subsequent hypocrisy of nominating Amy Coney Barrett in an election year, the Democrats should feel free to pack the court, if this current nominee is appointed to the court.
He's not gonna give the Trump campaign a sound bite that's he's stacking the courts lmao
You’ll have to vote for him to see if he will cheat. Hmm 🤨
Fine. Mcconnell & Co are packing the court by ramming in SCOTUS pick DURING an election. POTUS & McConnell have called of COVID relief talks, promising 'big' relief after election (if it goes their way). Everything should be on table. If Rs can do it, so can Ds.
Lying Biden
A page strait out of the Pelosi ACA playbook. Yeah, sure, America will buy that. . pfffft
Well that will be great! We can file that with Trump's taxes and some COVID relief!
Will hold my breath on the Press to push for an answer on this.
Pack the court. The republicans don't care that they bend the rules, why should we?
LMAO. Taking a page out of Trumps playbook! Serves 'em right!
Non story. We’re never going to need to know
Actual fascism
Whoa 😳 pack the Supreme Court. Kamala won’t answer. Here is your answer. Haha 😂
SCOTUS & the system are already stacked hard right male. The prejudiced & rigid views & opinions of the few on the court do not reflect the beliefs of a majority of Americans, particularly views that have historically been devalued to begin with. All should be on the table.
So I guess we all know what that means, why is that ok? Trump gets asked daily to disavow white supremacy, but Joe cant give an answer to a real question. Got it.
He is a drugged up clown
Duh. Because let's get real. If they fill Ginsburg's spot with a conservative, most of us are cool with 'packing the court'
Absolutely shameful. What a clown. We really deserve better than Joe Biden.
So that’s a yes then. Got it. Thanks.
Waiting to see which way the wind is blowing
In other words, I plan to stack the court but I don’t have to guts to tell you to your face.
And I am going to reveal how to travel faster than the speed of light in my Jeep when I get to Mars.......
Why not now?
Suggestion overheard: You like the Founding Fathers so much? How about we trim to 5 🤣
Typical of a lying deceiving swamp career politician.
That means some group of voters he needs won't like the answer.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. — Romans 1:18-19
In what world does someone legitimately think it’s a good idea to vote for someone that won’t tell you their views on such an important issue?
How...convenient.
No need to respond or provide an answer. As the GOP have shown, it’s your prerogative JoeBiden to do what you’d Ike for the best of the nation.
Good for him! 👏👏JoeBiden
He is either has no clue what his position is or he doesn’t want to lose centrist/ moderate Democrats: he already has.
.JUST LIKE OBAMAHATES
😂 this is just bizarre.. He’s hiding in his basement hoping to win
Good for him! 🙏
Supreme Court Justices vote on the issues and should be interpreting the USC. That is why it is a position for life. Amazing how many times consensus is gained and how many times 9 justices all see the issues uniquely. FDR pushed through his agenda by threatening expansion .
The court doesn't need expansion
Everyone is missing the answer they feel like if they win the election then they can do everything they originally said they would do.
Sounds good. We trust Joe.
It's a lot like Richard Nixon's secret plan for ending the war in Vietnam in this case he's going to pack the court in Nixon's case he was going to bomb the hell out of North Vietnam largely the same idiocy
Cadaver Joe.
I don't care. ANYBODY but Trump.
Trump says he’s going to do everything he promised to don4 years ago after this election. Besides only Congress can make SCOTUS changes.
Republicans have been packing state supreme courts—and even taking seats off courts, for years now. What? you think Democrats won’t do it too?
No answer = No vote for Joe
If only he could remember it.
Why is the news media letting him get away with this? Hound his ass the same way you hound Trump for basically everything.
Why not just work with the Conservative-Majority Supreme Court? Bill Clinton did it.
Crazy baiden he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing ; he is evil.
To who exactly Cox after the elections he’s still not going to be the President. So who is he going to reveal his views to
😂😂😂😂 this CAN’T be real
That’s definitely a view that should be shared pre election!
You okay with this? How the fuck is anyone okay with this?
Nope. Hard pass.
BidensACoward
Slimey coward doing slimey cowardly things.
Bait n switch. This kind of game he's playing should be interpreted as unethical and untrustworthy. Text book deception
Vote for me then I'll tell ya what i plan to do. I'm not old but old enough to remember when presidents actually campaigned on what they would do, not try to keep it a secret.
If the GOP violates their own rules from 2016, by nominating Trump's pick. Then the Democrates should stack the Supreme Court.
