  1. If Democrats were in control, Harris would be saying something entirely different, just like with Joe Biden was saying 4 years ago. But let’s continue to take things out of context, because we must make sure the left wins everything.

    1. @Soheil Ak How about you go do that I was to busy recording times on how long each candidate had to answer questions and on a majority of the questions Kamala Harris cut around 2 minutes and 5 seconds to answer the question while vice president Pence only got about a minute 45 seconds which is why I believe that he kept talking even when the moderator was telling him not to because he felt that he was being cut off too early which is actually true

  2. What does he mean by pack the court? Trump already put in 2 judges there. How many does he want to insert?

    1. There are 9 US Supreme Court Justices, they want to add more with their affiliations (Democrat in this case) to swing trials in their favor – or such is the fear and why there are nine and are appointed for life.

    2. Can’t believe this has to be explained in the era of Google, but packing court refers to adding additional justices to the 9 seats that there are already there. The idea being that you artificially make the court what you want, which is a political weapon to create like a second legislature. A president gets to nominate as many as there are vacant seats. What people don’t get is that the Senate just doesn’t have to confirm the nominations, and historically they don’t in an election year when the majority is a different party than the nominating president. In an election year when there the Senate and President are in the same party, they do confirm. Simple as that.
