He should just make it simple. Let's wait and see what republicans do with their nomination and then we'll take it from there.

Yeah this isn’t that hard. Don’t treat it as such a black and white question. Say something like “I want to protect people with pre existing conditions above all else, if Trump’s nominee is another radical who wants to destroy those protections then we’ll have to consider it.”

for decades both parties had practiced forbearance, ie not stretching every potential inch of power because there's the understanding that you'll establish precedent for the other side to engage in similar abuses. if the republicans are going to play outrageous games over supreme court seats then we will have to consider all options within reason

plenty of easy ways to put the ball back in their court

Those old as fuck establishment Democrats like Biden are so bad at setting the narrative. The media is hyping up court packing as this incredibly controversial thing even though McConnell started doing it in 2015, and Biden is only feeding that stupidity the way he’s handling this question. He should actually answer in a way that explains how Republicans are the ones who instigated the partisan court pissing matches, not Democrats.

Idk if Harris (or the debate team) would have been ballsy enough to do it, but when Pence hammered the question of court packing, it would have been cool for her to say, she and Biden will answer the court packing questions honestly once the president comes clean to the American people about his covid condition, when his last negative test was prior to the first positive test, and share his lung scan results and daily temperatures. Would have liked to see how Pence and Trump replied to that.

So make it easy and confirm Amy before the election is held and see what happens.
