Better to have the devil that you know, than the devil that you don't know.
Democrats are always hiding their true nefarious intentions.

Joe is nothing more than a communist shadow trying to become an American president.
He's a nobody trying to be somebody.

Bidens plans include stepping down and letting harris screw up the country. He is not going to let that be known till after he is president. He likes it in his mancave basement now.

Are you really that clueless or are you trolling?
Trump was talking about adding conservative judges to open seats.
Biden is talking about adding seats.

Talk about a loaded question!
Biden is silent now on court-packing stance, but in 1983 he called it a 'bonehead' idea.
What, try and pack the supreme court like Trump has?

I went to a car lot yesterday. I found a nice, shiny new car that looked wonderful. I asked the salesman how much it cost.
"We don't divulge that information until you buy it."
Strange... but it was such a nice car! So I asked about the warranty.
"We give that information out when you buy it."
Even stranger. I was tempted to walk away, but I asked one more question... did they finance?
"Yes, we do!"
"Awesome! So what's the interest rate?"
"You'll get that information in the mail after you're approved."
"How will I know how much my payments are?"
"You'll get that information after you're approved."
Now I'm not sure what to do. I really, really want that car, but I don't know how much it'll cost, what warranty it comes with, what the interest rate will be, or how much my payments will be. Should I buy the car and find out?

People are asking for his stance on it now, so they can cast an informed vote. Other democrats have made the threat of court packing to try and force trump to shirk his duty with filling the seat. He is not really doing himself any favors by telling us we have to vote for the bill before we can see what's in it.
Anyway, can't the justices themselves rule that adding additional seats will not be allowed?
After-all, it's THEIR court, is it not?
That statute was enacted in 1948.
The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist of a Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices, any six of whom shall constitute a quorum.
The most sensible solutions compliant with the Constitution would be to have extra supreme court judges, to hopefully balance things better, or to impose term limits.
I'm for imposing term limits for supreme court judges through a Constitutional amendment raised by Congress, passed by the Senate, and validated through a public referendum.
