[See NewsBusters for more.] Over the last several days, Joe Biden has repeatedly muddled his non-position on court packing, at one point declaring that voters “don’t deserve to know” what he would do. On Monday, the Democrat declared himself “not a fan” of adding justices. That was enough for MSNBC to declare the issue dead and concluded. Reporter Geoff Bennett on Tuesday hailed the “moderate” Biden and insisted that Democrats were “warranted” in packing the Supreme Court anyway. Bennett played a clip of the presidential candidate sputtering, “I've already spoken on -- I'm not a fan of court packing. But I don't want to get off on that whole issue. I want to keep focused.” Strictly speaking, this isn’t a definitive answer. But it was enough for Bennett. He cheered: “Joe Biden is a moderate. He's an institutionalist. He's campaigned on restoring normalcy, such that it exists. Restoring civility.”
