His position is clear to anyone with a brain.

Strategic ambiguity.

He should maintain it post election, too.

“Nice little 9-member court you’re got there, be a shame if something happened to it”

It’s ultimately a bluff though, it’s unlikely you’d get unanimous support for it on the Democratic side, unless there were some really egregious decisions at some point.

I think that tweet is directed to how, all of a sudden, appointing ACB is "court packing."

And how, after Joe said it, 5000 "journalists" picked it up - independently, of course.

Even Tapper (!) called out Coons on the supposed "unconstitutionality" of the appointment.

Oh.

God forbid that we should know what a candidate really thinks, right?

Or, is he (clutches pearls) doing it for political advantage?

[jon-nyc]

I would hope he thinks that maintaining strategic ambiguity is the right thing do.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to see that as an actual preference rather than the avoidance of one.

"Mr. President, will you denounce right wing groups?"

The media is all over his supposed "strategic ambiguity" on this issue.

Why excuse Joe and not Trump?

"What?"
"Don't let them know what you're against, or what you're for."
"You can't be serious..."
"You wanna get ahead?"
"Yes..."
"Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead."

As long as you can put “acquiescing racism” and “court packing” on different moral planes, yeah, you can excuse one but not the other.

Try this version:
“Mr. President, will you denounce the Nazis?”
“Schutzstaffel, stand back and stand by.”
