Joe Biden’s plan to form a commission to “reform” the court system meant that he was “open to” court packing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., argued on Thursday. “Court packing ought to be completely unacceptable,” the Kentucky Republican told Fox News’ Dana Perino on “The Daily Briefing.”“It was when Joe was chairman of the Judiciary Committee,” McConnell continued. "I will ask them to, over 180 days, come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system because it's getting out of whack." SENATE JUDICIARY REPUBLICANS ADVANCE BARRETT NOMINATION DESPITE DEMOCRATS' BOYCOTT, COMMITTEE RULES"It's not about court packing," he continued. Biden had repeatedly dodged the matter, but has previously said “I have not been a fan of court packing.”
