‘Not gonna play’ Trump’s game: Biden says voters ‘don’t deserve’ to know about his plans for Supreme Court packing

“Well, sir don’t the voters deserve to know…?” reporter Ross DiMattei asked. 

“No they don’t deserve,” Biden said, then tearing into President Donald Trump without naming him. “I’m not gonna play his game, he’d love me to talk about, and I’ve already said something on court packing, he’d love that to be the discussion instead of what he’s doing now.”

“Well sir, don’t the voters deserve to know—“

“No, they don’t deserve” to know.

So not only is the Left not answering whether they will pack the courts, their standard-bearer thinks you *don’t deserve* to know whether they will. pic.twitter.com/cEj0dV5p6I

Biden turning the court packing question into a matter of voters not “deserving” to know his position has raised alarm with critics. 

“Strange theory of how elections are supposed to work,” author and Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett tweeted in reaction. 

Remarkable.

Biden says voters don’t deserve to know if he’d overthrow one of the three branches of government.

With the ACB hearings coming up this week, the court packing controversy will get even worse for Biden, who REFUSES to answer. https://t.co/Tgmi7JR37V

Court packing has become a more popular idea among Democrats in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death and the president’s insistence on filling her seat before the election. Biden himself waved off the notion of packing the Supreme Court while running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, saying “we’ll live to rue that day” if it were ever done. 

He has more recently, however, refused to take a position on the issue, previously stating he would not comment on the matter until after the election.
