Here is why Biden/Harris must ignore unfair calls to address court-packing

The Biden/Harris campaign must not answer any court-packing questions. Their answer should always be they will do what they were elected to do. The question is GOP court-packing with incompetent judges.

1. Media would not be incessantly asking this if it was the GOP

The media has to treat DEMS like enemies that have to be grilled with 200 questions per issue, but when talking to a con on the same subject they ask one, softball question.

We have this because of the LIE that the media is liberal as in biased.

NOT biased, but look up the word liberal someday and you will sure hope to fuck journalists are.

camp is united on this that they will not answer hypothetical questions, especially in regard to this question, which would require Congress to first pass the legislation to add seats to the SC before it would even get to the desk if Biden becomes President.

They are also rightfully so pointing out that the republicans are using this as a distraction from their complete failure of the pandemic which left over 210000 dead, and over 7.5 million infected, some who will have lifelong maladies from this

4. They want the Dems to state their plans in advance? Because they know Dems would try to accomplish

Whatever they state, wouldn’t just lie about it straight up like the rethugs do constantly. Like SS being off the table, preexisting condition coverage guaranteed, not filling a SC slot during an election, and on and on. The rethugs are all like trump, lying constantly and giving some BS excuse for their lies.

THEY PACKED. Incompetent, unqualified, ideological Federalist Society judges.

We're FIXING the courts to reflect the Constitution's allowance for change, as a living document -- 11 to 13 judges to hold liberal democracy for at least another generation until these conflict driven psychos get used to gender, racial equality, income equity, and corporations NOT being equal before the Constitution.

No more conservatives or profiteers in a time of Covid and climate catastrophes.
