The court-packing issue is a distraction from points Biden wants to drive home in the waning days of the campaign.
Yes, Biden’s deflection of questions on this issue protects him from the flak he would take from either embracing or repudiating a priority of progressive Democrats who are seething over the likelihood that the Republican-controlled Senate will confirm Trump’s nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, to the high court.
All of these things are true, and Biden’s response is still unsatisfactory. Last week he said: “They’ll know my opinion on court packing when the election’s over.” On Sunday, Biden deputy campaign manager in a TV interview declined to be more definitive, saying, “I am not going to play Donald Trump’s game.”
All his opinions are missing in action. If Biden opens his mouth the Democratic party will implode.
