It's a question that Democrats and Joe Biden really don't want to answer. Most Senate Democrats pivot to discuss their focus on winning the majority and protecting Americans' health care, which they warn could be at risk.
There is a question no Democrat on Capitol Hill wants to answer:"If Joe Biden wins, should Democrats expand the number of Supreme Court justices?"
The Republicans have changed their tune, arguing that this time it's different, because their party controls both the White House and Senate, while they only controlled the Senate under President Barack Obama.They lack the votes to prevent President Donald Trump from appointing his third Supreme Court justice, as well as the ability to block Republicans from confirming him or her, which will cement a conservative majority for generations to come.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks during a news conference in front of the U.S. Capitol September 22 in Washington, DC."Let's say I answer that question, then the whole debate's going to be about what Biden said or didn't say, Biden said he would or wouldn't," BidenMonday."The discussion should be about why he is moving in a direction that's totally inconsistent with what the founders wanted... It is a fundamental breach of constitutional principle.
