CMV: Biden and Harris continuing to refuse to answer whether they’ll pack the Supreme Court means we should assume they will do so

This is a very important issue, because packing the Supreme Court will effectively destroy any remaining credibility of the Supreme Court as an independent brach of government.  

I don’t understand why Biden and Harris wouldn’t just say they won’t do it if they weren’t going to do it.  It doesn’t make sense that they’re making a threat just to stop the Barrett nomination because the Republicans are 100% committed to pushing this through.

Thus, my view is that voters should operate under the assumption that Democrats will pack the court if they win the Senate and Presidency.

Packing the court would carry some negative associations, but it might also be done in a situation when the public begrudgingly welcomes it's results.

Committing to packing the courts no matter what, would be pointless now. They might not even have a senate majority anyways, and then they pointlessly took a hit for it's negative associations, without the benefit of actually accomplishing it's goals.

Biden is clearly leaving court packing on the table, in case there will be a need for it, which is not the same thing as packing the courts day 1 no matter what.
