Below is a video of then Senator Joe Biden in 2005, speaking out vociferously against the idea of packing the Supreme Court. He said court packing was a ‘power grab’ and suggested FDR was ‘corrupted by power’ for wanting to do so.
Now, as president, Biden wants to create a commission to explore the idea of doing exactly what he strongly objected to in 2005.
In 2005, Biden called court packing a “power grab” and suggested FDR was “corrupted by power” for wanting to do so.
He praised the “courage” of those who stood up against court packing.
