Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said that the issue of whether he supports packing the Supreme Court is a “legitimate question” for journalists to ask but he is not going to answer the question.
A local Wisconsin news station asked Biden if he was elected president and the Democrats gained back control of the Senate, would he support adding more seats to the Supreme Court.
“It’s a legitimate question,” Biden responded. “But let me tell you why I’m not going to answer that question: Because it will shift the whole focus. That’s what he wants. He never wants to talk about the issue at hand. He always tries to change the subject. But let’s say I answer that question, then the whole debate’s going to be: well, Biden said or didn’t say. Biden said he would or wouldn’t.”
Biden’s remarks come just over 40 days from the election and as voters increasingly focus on where candidates stand on issues so they can make informed decisions election day.
“However, the subject of adding more members to the court has been increasingly raised by Democrats infuriated that Republicans who control the Senate would vote to fill the vacancy left by the Friday death of the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon, just days before the election,” Politico reported. “Even before Ginsburg’s death, Democrats began warming to the idea of packing the Supreme Court. They included Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s now Biden’s running mate.”
WATCH:
The idea of packing the Supreme Court is so radical that even progressive Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who died last week — rejected the idea as recently as a year ago, calling it a “bad idea.”
“There is no fixed number in the Constitution, so this court has had as few as five and as many as 10. Nine seems to be a good number and it’s been that way for a long time,” Ginsburg said in a 2019 interview with NPR. “I have heard that there are some people on the Democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges. I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court, his plan was for every justice who stays on the court past the age of 70, the president would have the authority to nominate another justice. If that plan had been effective, the court’s number would have swelled immediately from nine to 15 and the president would have six appointments to make.”
“You mentioned before the court appearing partisan, well if anything would make the court appear partisan, it would be that — one side saying, ‘when we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of judges, so we want to have more people who will vote the way we want them to,’” Ginsburg added. “So, I am not at all in favor of that solution to what I see as a temporary situation.”
Biden's not going to answer that question because he won't have to face the possibility, even if he wins. That will be President Kamala "Willie Brown's Side Piece" Harris' decision.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to slight his former opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Monday in an attempt to assuage voters' concerns that he would pursue a socialist agenda if he wins November's election.
Fox 11's Kia Murray asked Biden: “If you could address our camera directly, talk to the voters that are worried about socialism and you raising taxes."
"First of all, I promise," Biden said. "I've never broken my word. Anyone making less than $400,000 will not see one single penny in their tax raised.
"Number two, I beat the socialist. That's how I got elected. That's how I got the nomination. Do I look like a socialist? Look at my career, my whole career. I am not a socialist."
Biden added that he wasn't trying to "punish anybody" but wanted to make people pay "their fair share."
His comments underscored a growing divide between moderate Democrats and the party's more left-leaning members who appeared to gain prominence in the last two years. Conservatives have portrayed Biden as caving to progressive influences like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
During the Democratic primary season, Biden famously took heat from his rivals for merely expanding on former President Obama's health care legislation, rather than pursuing a more ambitioius option like "Medicare-For-All" touted by Sanders and other more progressive candidates.
One of his fiercest critics was Sanders, a self-identified democratic socialist who eventually endorsed Biden. The two reportedly developed six policy working groups on health care, immigration, the economy, criminal justice, climate action and education.

Someone who absolutely hates Trump went and endorsed Creepy Joe?

John McCain was anything but America first, I cant wait until they reveal he was executed for treason
aint just sniffing
Take the time to read this.
It's pretty much scorched earth on Biden, his family and the Obama Administration
The damn US Treasury Department flagged (SAR) payments collected overseas by Hunter Biden and business partner Devon Archer for possible illicit activities. Flagged with a SAR!
The SAR flagged millions in transactions from Burisma Holdings, a Russian oligarch named Yelena Baturina, and Chinese businessmen with ties to Beijing's communist government, the SAR said. Senate investigators haven't determined if the FBI or others investigated the concerns.
Chris Wray what's with all the obstruction and cooperation with the Senate Investigation?
The SARs acquired by Johnson show criminal activity relating to transactions among & between Hunter Biden, his family, & his associates with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh & Chinese nationals,
Johnson also raised concerns about possible ties to sex and human trafficking rings. "Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring
Now you see EXACTLY what @RepAdamSchiff was covering up, different picture of the Biden family than the one House Dems painted a year ago when they impeached @realDonaldTrump for seeking a Ukrainian investigation into Hunter Biden's dealings with Burisma while @JoeBiden was VP
Remember when that pencil necked prick and his little troll sidekick @RepJerryNadler
claimed anything we said about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were "Russian disinformation" or "debunked conspiracy theories."
GFY Adam & Jerry and that POS @danielsgoldman
who lied to cover it up
