Good luck finding any honest Republicans to serve on it. Maybe the Republican members will be Mitt Romney, John Kasich and Michael Steele?

Good for Biden. He shuts down all the breathless court packing questions and says virtually nothing. Very smart.

But he’s 100% right that wholesale reform is the way to go. The Supreme Court has been so politicized it totters on the brink of a total loss of credibility. Just another branch of the government people don’t believe in. It’s time to take a hard look and I hope this happens.

And a Truth and Reconciliation Commission co-chaired by Mitch McConnell and William Barr.

The Dems never disappoint. How many minds will he change by floating this idea? Will the QAnon suddenly become his supporter or William Bundy or their followers in the GOP?

Amazing. Disgusting.

It’s the judges McConnell is choosing that is more out of whack.

As he should. If he wins but the Republicans keep the Senate, it’s all moot anyways. No point wasting political capital you don’t even have yet.

Next up - a bipartisan commission on rooting out corruption. With recommendations for prosocution.

Who thinks he is trying to change minds with this answer? He is deflecting the stupid question with a non-answer. Good move.

QAnon’s gonna shift to eliminating the deficit and inheritance tax. Just you wait.

They are floating more ideas like this and putting Republicans in the cabinet than ones the Dem base actually wants.

Once again taking the base for suckers.

Disgusting.

You can’t win over that bunch.

But what Biden can do is make even stronger his support among people who want responsible adult patriots running our country.

This answer is exactly correct. The upper levels of the federal court system have lost popular legitimacy, and it would be absurd to say that any one individual, Biden or anybody else, has the obvious perfect flawless solution of I Alone Can Fix It.

Okay, so you can’t be appealed to.

But responsible adult citizens who give a damn about this country are still listening.

Yeah. Playing 11 dimensional chess.

Like the Dem base is all fools.

Au contraire. That means Joe Biden is talking to responsible adult citizens who give a damn. Maybe that doesn’t include you, but it sure as hell includes tens of millions of our fellow citizens.

Sorry you can’t grasp the concept of deflecting a stupid question.
