"The voters don't deserve to know."

What are the "requirements" to "pack the court"?

It can be done via legislation. But, requires both houses of Congress and the President. Fundamentally, it's no different than any other law.

But the fact that Biden won't answer the question (and neither will Harris) is telling. By not answering, they are answering, and from what I gather it's a very unpopular position.

You think so? I think by not answering they’re not answering. That way both factions within the Democratic Party can assume they’re on board with them.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Profiles in courage, then, LOL.

Also seems like a bit of a red herring. They’d need a big majority to get 50 I think. Not every Senator wants to go there.

Let me say I actually assume he’s still against it, like he was during the priamry. But he doesn’t want to alienate the left especially as they’ll be wound up by the ACB hearings.

Exactly

One might think there'd be a better way to put that than the voters don't deserve to know.

I've maintained strategic ambiguity with Rachel for 20 years now. Keeps her on her toes.

[Mik]

Of she may have taken it as reason enough to do whatever she wished. Women can be tricky like that.

It's a bit of a shame The Bee felt the need to make him a Democrat in order to ram home the joke.

[Copper]

Yes, and a democratic would never do that.

That wasn't my point. The point was to make the joke a bit more subtle. However, I guess they needed something those a little slower on the uptake could figure out.
