    IOW, journalists should just accept that it's OK for a campaign to flatly refuse to answer what the candidate will do about a proposal with massive effects on the structure of American government?https://twitter.com/WillMcAvoyACN/status/1313516406718169088 …

    Will McAvoy @WillMcAvoyACN
    It’s not about people bailing, it’s about what the conversation is about. By refusing to talk about court packing, Biden is keeping the conversation and attention focused on Republicans current abuse of power instead of a possible Democratic response to those actions. https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/1313515686874890244 …

        It's constitutional, so it's OK.

        I totally get why Biden is doing this. I am more amused by the supposedly non-partisan actors giving this explanation as though it should be sufficient for journalists to accept.

        There is "Good for Biden". And then there is "Good for American voters and democracy". Of course, many who aren't supposed to be on a team are assuming these to be one in the same.

        "I'm not going to tell you what my decision will be, YOU tell me what my decision will be by VOTING" was an underrated Bidenism.

        "I will make Roe v Wade the law of the land!" He's very selective about when he refuses to talk about what he will do.

        I never said journalists should accept the lack of an answer, but their methods of asking have not acknowledged his reality. I was commenting on the “why won’t he answer” question. He very obviously wants to keep the attention on the Republicans unpopular and hypocritical action.

        Which, again, is something even children running for class President can understand, so when a political reporter asks “what voters is he losing by doing this” it shows a fundamental inability to understand one of the foundational functions of politics.

        So it's not okay for Administrations to refuse to answer questions, right? When was the President's last negative coronavirus test?
