Joe Biden's complete and utter ignorance of American civics is quite literally astounding given that he's been a sitting (apparently, "sitting and drooling") U.S. Senator/Vice President in Washington, D.C. for 44 years! Hey, dumbass ... "Packing the Court" (something FDR tried back in 1937 and got shot down by his own party - back when The Democrat Party was actually pro-American) is when you create and fill additional seats on the bench OUT OF THIN AIR, NOT when you are Constitutionally filling vacancies of existing seats. Got it?
Joe Biden says the only court-packing going on right now is with Republicans, and it’s ‘not constitutional’

At the first presidential debate, Joe Biden refused to answer if he’d pack the Supreme Court if Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed. At the vice-presidential debate, Kamala Harris told a nice (if fictitious) story about Abraham Lincoln rather than answer the question. Biden has said that answering the question would be “playing Trump’s game.”
It’s remarkable to us, but the media (usually the local media) keeps asking Biden about packing the court, and as Twitchy reported earlier, Biden told a reporter in Las Vegas that voters “don’t deserve” to know whether he’ll pack the court if President Trump gets his way.
First, he says voters don’t deserve to know when they go to the polls, and then he says it’s “not constitutional” for Trump to nominate Barrett because voting has already started. Furthermore, it’s the Republicans who are doing the court-packing.

Marianna Sotomayor (NBC News) ~ Asked if the public deserves to know his view on court packing before the election, @JoeBiden dodges, noting that the GOP is rushing Judge Coney Barrett's nomination.
"The only court packing going on right now is going on with the Republicans," he said. "It's not constitutional."
Josh Kraushaar (National Journal) ~ Biden: “Its not constitutional what they’re doing.”
Dr. Roger and 27 other doctors ~ Wrong.
Colin Duffy ~ Fact check: it is explicitly constitutional.
Cosmonaut ~ Other than it being literally 100% constitutional ...
Curious1 ~ A sitting president filling a Supreme Court vacancy is not constitutional?
JoeyMags ~ Uhhh what specifically is unconstitutional? Did anyone care to follow up on that completely fabricated lie?
Right Ghost ~ Dems are trying to change the meaning of the phrase “court packing” to confuse voters. Appointing a justice to an open seat is obviously not the same thing as adding new seats entirely. It’s insulting that the media allows him to get away with this trick.
Cville-ian ~ He’s losing, and you can see it.
We saw it out on the campaign trail when Biden’s team couldn’t ensure everyone who showed up at one of his town halls was a supporter; he gets ticked when hit with questions he doesn’t want to answer — it’s about time the media pitched in so we can see Biden angry and defensive again.
JohnSaw11218270 ~ Biden is pathetic. Total weakness not to answer.
His answer is to project and say that Republicans are packing the courts, and doing it unconstitutionally to boot.
Phil Di Valerio ~ Who let Biden talk? Nobody said he could talk unsupervised. His handlers have a lot to answer for. Can they impose a retrospective lid?
This is SUPER-BASIC Civics 101 stuff and Gropey Joe can't even get that right.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
