Joe Biden on Saturday again refused to state whether he would attempt to pack the Supreme Court if elected president, saying in a Saturday interview that voters “don’t deserve” to know his position on the issue.

Some Democrats have suggested the party attempt to pack the Supreme Court, or increase the number of justices on the bench, if the party wins the presidency and a Senate majority in the November elections. The proposal comes as Republicans attempt to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the court, solidifying a 6-3 conservative majority.

Biden and running mate Senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) have repeatedly refused to state whether they support packing the court. However, Biden was again pressed on the issue during an interview by reporter Ross DiMattei of KTNV, a Las Vegas ABC affiliate.

DiMattei said the question of court packing was the “number-one issue” viewers have asked him about.

“Sir, don’t the voters deserve to know…” DiMattei asked.

“No they don’t deserve—I’m not gonna play [President Trump’s] game,” Biden responded, adding that Trump would “love that to be the discussion instead of what he’s doing now.”

Biden said at a Friday press conference that voters would only know his position on court packing after the election.

“You’ll know my opinion of court-packing when the election is over,” Biden said. “Now look, I know—it’s a great question, and I don’t blame you all for asking. But you know the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that.”

  1. In other words, don’t ask me that question because you won’t like the answer and won’t vote for me if I tell you.

  2. I bet they would not answer this one either!
    Am I going to take away every liberty you have? I will answer that After the election!

    I think all candidates should be Honest. Biden and Harris are NOT! What are they hiding that we don’t know about.

    1. In other words, the answer both questions is YES I WILL. What else can you expect from the DEMONcRATS IF they get elected. No First or Second Amendment rights, higher taxes, many more regulations, no fuel, no electricity unless the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, no access to the medicines you need unless a panel of bureaucrats says you can have it otherwise you can go die because they control your life or death, etc. GET OUT AND VOTE AT THE POLLS SO YOUR VOTE STANDS A BETTER CHANCE OF BEING COUNTED, otherwise you could end up with something like Commiefornia for the USA.

  3. He doesn’t even comprehend what it means. Wouldn’t that be quite a crowd on a tennis court? Would more people show up at my rallies? Would I be able to get a date? How many other scenarios would he come up with.

  4. Unfortunately, he has gone too far left. But then does he have the right to moveto the middle? The answer is probably no. That is why he and Kamala can’t tell the truth about their plans. If they did, the Dem’s would be up in arms let alone all the people who believe in our constitution. Have you listen to polasi referring to the 25th. amendment,their getting prepared for when they want to boot Biden out.

  5. The only time I ever heard him tell the truth was when he said if he answers that question the head line would be in every news paper in the country in a moment! Fact of the mater is I don’t care to know! He woun’t be there anyway.

  6. Biden is an empty vessel and some folks will vote for him because they don’t “Like” Trump, even though they do support the USA and his policies for the country. And they are better off than they were under Biden/Obama.

    BUT- Voting for Biden because you don’t “like” Trump is like eating a cow paddy because you don’t like broccoli.

  7. Question is are we willing to settle for what ever the democrats are cooking(hey Dewayne Johnson),or will we bow up and do what’s right,I’m not ready to just turn the country over to these liberal buzzards and have it destroyed,these are the most wicked bunch of thugs that we have faced,you can pray all you want,but are you ready to be put to the test,we will see very soon.

  8. On this election day, October 12, 2020, don’t guess, hope and pray.

    Go out and exercise your right to vote by using your constitutional freedom written for you and given to you by “The United States Constitution” and those men and women who have laid down their lives protecting your freedom.

    Present and past names who represent the left, “Socialism”: Mousolini; Stalin; Obama; Hitler; VP Biden; Kamala Harris; NY Gov. Cuomo, all the network Fake News stations around our United States – some are (CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, ) all the nuts and rioters in major cities and states: Seattle, Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, some of those current Hollywood actor nut jobs, Antifa, the KKK, Gov, Gavin Newsome of Ca, New York’s current Mayor Bill Dablassio, AL Sharpton, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, George Soros: and the list goes on and on. It is serious and dangerous out there and we have to abolish this disease. It is worse than Covid-19.

    Your life and your life’s’ freedom of liberty depends on the view of our current conservative President’s administration and that of his supporters and what they believe and stand for. 😊 It is all about you! VOTE!!!

    I’m Sandy Kasten and I approve this message.

  9. Kinda like Pelosi’s Bologna answer about Obama care being over 18K pages long… “Well we will just have to pass it to see whats in it.”
    Who the hell thinks like that; let alone believes an idiot like that??? Now we got STUCK with it! (Obamacare) Wake up we cant afford Joe Biden as a president.

  10. He also said he doesn’t work for us. But after 47 years in office with zero accomplishments for the betterment of the US we already knew that.

  11. And yet their are still worthless POS brainless Fuktards out their that will be all the Yellow dogs they can be and vote the party.

    I know because unfortunately I live next to one..

  12. He may not have been told yet what the real answer is. They don’t want Biden to blow it. Joe’s not in charge of “his” policies.

    If he’s elected, the Harris/Biden administration won’t last that long… I bet that within the first 100 days Harris will use the 25th Amendment to oust Biden due to mental capacity issues. She’ll nominate AOC or some other nightmare to be her VP.
