Democratic Senator 'Open' To Packing Supreme Court If GOP Won't 'Step Back' From Barrett Confirmation
[DAILYWIRE] Sen. Chris Coons
...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School....

beats President Trump in November, the Delaware senator would be "open" to packing the Supreme Court in response to Barrett’s confirmation.

"Like Joe Biden, I’m not a fan of expanding the court, but we have a few weeks here to see whether there are four Republicans who will step back from this precipice," Coons said. "It is President Trump who has pressed for this nominee so he can have a key vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic. It is the Republican majority that’s responsible for racing forward with this extreme, unqualified nominee—unqualified because of her extreme judicial philosophy."

"That’s who should be bearing the brunt at the ballot box in this election, that they’re doing this to get someone on the court just in time, a week after the election, to take away critical health care protections from a majority of Americans," Coons added. "We need to focus on that, and then if we happen to be in the fact-pattern where we have a President Biden, we’ll have to look at what the right steps are to rebalance our federal judiciary."

Tapper pressed Coons whether his "mind is open" about packing the court, and Coons responded with a quick "yes."

#3 So even if the Trunks accommodate the Commies, why do you think they still won't pack the court anyways?
