Just want to take a moment to thank the reporters, editors and producers who are pretending like this court-packing bs is a real story. Thanks for showing your audience how out of touch and full of shit you are.

This is so easy if Dems would just have consistent talking points. Simply say that many people are saying the court should be rebalanced to reflect the American people and we will debate this in the future. Over and over and over, every single Democrat should repeat rebalance, rebalance, rebalance to replace the phase packing.

The average voter can understand that the court is out of balance with the US population. Stop letting them say packing when it is not packing, it is balancing the court.

Reporters are asking BIDEN??? They're asking about DEMOCRATIC COURT PACKING????

Uh - did I miss something?

WHEN did the Democrats start packing the courts???

WHY aren't reporters asking the CONS about what court packing they've been doing ever since trump stole his way into OUR White House???????

"We'll see. Maybe we'll add Justices, and maybe we won't. If we do, it'll be like no Court you've ever seen before."

Let Joe borrow that verbiage!

Even local news slips it in. “After refusing to answer questions about packing the court, Biden.....blah blah blah”.
Biden should just say “I have no intention of changing the court “ and move on.
