on Saturday told NBC,"We should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court." Her remarks have also been echoed by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Democratic presidential candidate former US Vice President Joe Biden has refused to say whether he supports adding more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court following the recent death of liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In this October 8, 2020 picture, Biden speaks in front of an Arizona state flag.Biden has previously opposed court-packing.
"You'll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over," Biden told reporters on Thursday."It's a great question, and I don't blame you for asking. But you know, the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be on the answer to that question."
Can we focus on the elections please.
why are dems always wanting to change the rules? court packing, filibuster rule, electoral college, statehood for DC/PR....how about no. Want power? Build consensus around sound policy that isn’t bats*it crazy and win elections and you can have your power back
I'll let u know if the gun is loaded, after I pull the trigger...
Please no
Good! He (and Harris) needs to start answering questions! Stop telling us you will tell us us the answer after the election! People want to know so we can vote accordingly! Wait and see isn’t going to win you any votes!
It’s not packing. Republicans did that by stealing two elections; the first through SCOTUS and the second through Russia. This would be unpacking the courts.
Not necessary to do so... wait until you win make an assessment... then make a decision.
I like what Schumer said, “nothing is off the table”.
WHEN DID NEWSWEEK BECOME NEWSWEAK!
Wut ! No. There's no resson for VPBiden to publicly embrace packing the court without knowing if the Dem's would win a majority Senate. Why are people trying to rack up more brick bats from opponents. Less talk on the SC the better
If he caves, we’ll know for sure that he is a trojan horse!
Hell yes, pack it.
If the GOP are in the position Joe and the Democrats are, they would pack the SC without any qualms. The shortsighted desperate move by senatemajldr blocking a sitting President’s nominee Merrill Garland will continue to have consequences.
Why would he do something stupid like it? That’s the kind of thing that would just fire up the Right. Nothing good would come from it.
Commies, they are commies.
He did not say this, I'm voting for Joe but I'm not pressuring to pack the SC. This is nothing but click bait to get the Trump supporters all stirred up.
Hillary’s email Redux
Stop. Stop. Stop. This is irrelevant. If he wins, he’ll see where we are. If he doesn’t? It’s moot. Stop. This. Now. This is a GOP tactic. STOP.
Why? Isn’t that kind of stupid until after the election is over?
No he isn’t
Newsweek your a joke
No, he’s under pressure from the GOP to say he will so that they can run on it. Nice try though.
Who cares? The Reps are doing it now & Dems will do it when they're in control. It's just the way the BS goes. Life's not fair. If it were, the lady with the emails would be up for re-election & not an Adderral snorting COVIDiot tripping his balls off on experimental drugs.
Sorry GOP and senatemajldr paybacks a b**ch, he should just say he won't do it then do it anyway just like these hypocritical senators.
🎃
Pack the court!
No he isn’t
If Biden promotes court-packing, it will help Trump unless he steps-all over Biden's bad news cycle.... DJT would never step over an opponents bad news cycle!
Packing the courts is pure evil! Shame on the demoncraps! They want to guarantee their demonic practices are protected! May Jesus have mercy on their souls!
Can’t trust these Demonrats. If they win, say goodbye to the America we love and get ready to adjust to the third world sh*t immigrants flee other countries and come to America to flee from.
Don't do it, JoeBiden! That would be a huge mistake at this point.
PeregrineMemes LMFAO
Why would Biden voters want him to say either way at this point? It really depends on what the GOP does, doesn’t it? If they go low, he aughta go low, too, because they exploit the crap out of us going high. But the point is moot if Mitch decides not to break his own rules again.
He’s not under any pressure. Press Frump about his taxes. Press mcconnel about stealing court seats.
Just say yes, we will pack the courts, just with competent people who aren’t insane. There you have it.
Some Democrats want to hand Trump the stick to beat them with...Biden doesn't have to answer this before the election...it's a referendum on Trump and the fact that he's killed 200,000 Americans and crashed the economy through callous incompetence.
back tf off democrats. he doesn't have to publicly embrace it. he can do that after he moves into the wh in jan.
Only an idiot wouldn't wait to see what Trump & Mitch are up to. Biden may not have to do anything.
There’re no other paths
Newsweak for the swing and a miss
He absolutely needs to pack the courts. But Status Quo Joe won't do it. We need real progressives in power, not the last round of boomers clinging to power.
This is a bad idea
