Biden addresses idea of high court packing: 'I'm not a fan'

Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Oct 12, 2020. CINCINNATI, Ohio: Joe Biden says he is “not a fan” of adding seats to the United States Supreme Court, after weeks of avoiding questions about the proposal that has been pushed by progressives and used by Republicans to attack him.

Biden has expressed opposition to the idea of expanding the Supreme Court before, but in recent weeks notably dodged multiple questions from the media about the proposal, insisting he would answer the question after the election.Pressure on Biden to respond intensified after his running mate, California Senator Kamala Harris, refused to answer the question during her debate with Vice President Mike Pence last week.

Faced with the prospect of a decades-long conservative majority on the court following Ginsburg’s death, the idea of adding seats to the nine-person court has gained renewed traction among Democrats. “No, I’m not prepared to go on and try to pack the court, because we’ll live to rue that day,” he warned in an interview with a political blogger in Iowa last summer.

Weak answer. Not a fan of BTS?
