Biden Owes Us an Answer on Court Packing
Democratic candidate Joe Biden has so far refused to reveal who he might appoint to the Supreme Court, but he revealed more than he may have intended when he said in an Oct. 9 interview that voters do not “deserve” to know his position on court-packing. He tried to walk that back a bit in an ABC News town-hall interview Thursday, conceding that voters have a right to know his position and will before Election Day, “Depending on how they handle this” — a reference, apparently, to Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination.

Unlike the candidates he represents, Coons indicated that he was definitely receptive to the idea.
