Meh. I get why it works politically -- keep court packing out of the news cycle -- but Biden obviously need to have a better answer prepared for the debates.
It's an annoying truism of our media that despite Biden giving a great speech today about a variety of economic issues, if he had answered the question all the headlines would be "BIDEN AGAINST COURT PACKING", thus putting "COURT PACKING" in front of voters when we really need it to be banished from the news cycle entirely.
It’s not hard then , just say I’ll veto it lol . That was literally his position in the primary
Yeah, I'm assuming he'll say he is against it in the debates (he won't want to say he'd veto it, since that would piss off the part of the base that doesn't understand politics). I really don't want to see the party devolve into a public for-or-against court packing debate right now though. Everyone should just say they're against it. Then after the election they can 100% flip-flop, if politically expedient. After all, that's what the Republicans are doing right now and half the country apparently has no problem with it whatsoever.
