How to respond to the journalists who keep asking Biden and Harris about court packing: “How dare you ask me that question when court packing is going on right before your very eyes by McConnell, Graham and their henchmen. The most egregious breach of norms in modern times!
“Mitch McConnell & Senate Republicans packed district courts, appeals courts and the Supreme Court by denying Barack Obama the nominees he was entitled to, through filibusters and misuse of the blue slip in an unprecedented fashion. You should be asking them about this outrage.
“ What they are doing is real. What you were asking me is hypothetical. Wait and see what happens with Barrett’s confirmation. No one can see with the appropriate response would be if her confirmation is jammed through on a 50-50 vote days before or even after the election.
“ But one thing I can tell you for certain. Trump, McConnell, and Graham are thrilled that you keep trying to turn the focus to what we might or might not do next year instead of what they are doing right under your nose right now.”
