Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is suggesting that the Senate Republican push to elevate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court before the Nov. 3 elections is at odds with the Constitution.
"The only court-packing is going on right now. It’s going on with the Republicans," Biden told reporters Saturday in Delaware. "It’s not constitutional what they’re doing. We should be focused on what’s happening right now."
Biden reiterated how voters have already begun casting their ballots as the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares for Barrett's four days of confirmation hearings, starting on Monday.
But Republicans have lodged similar complaints against the two-term vice president and 36-year Delaware senator for refusing to say whether he would expand the Supreme Court if he gets elected to the White House in 24 days as voters head to the polls or mail in their ballots.
