Senate Judiciary Committee member Chris Coons (D., Del.) on Sunday said that Republicans’ push to confirm Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett ahead of the November 3 election “constitutes court packing” and called the judge’s views “not just extreme,” but “disqualifying.”

Coons’s comments came during an appearance on Chris Wallace’s “Fox News Sunday,” in which he defended Democrats’ calls to add additional seats to the Supreme Court in retaliation for the Senate going forward with Barrett’s confirmation hearings only weeks before the election.

Once again here come the democrats accusing republicans of what the democrats are actually planning to do. Karl Marx would be beaming with pride.

The ministry of truth has chosen a new talking point and all the Dems dutifully fall in line. Why do they feel the need to purposely conflate packing the courts (adding SCOTUS justices above 9) with filling vacancies? It’s amazing how willing they all are to jump right in line with misleading statements and outright lies.

It was Senator Coons and his wife who stood there and grinned while Joe Biden was kissing their very uncomfortable daughter who looked to be about 12 years old during his swearing in ceremony.

Chris Coons views as a practicing Marxist (self admitted and he is proud of it) is disqualifying to be a Senator.

Maybe Coons should address his own tendency to allow other men to grope and sniff his daughter. Yes, we remember that Coons, you offering up your daughter as a sacrifice to further your own career, just like the courtiers of Olde England did.

It is a shame that to a Democrat holding to the meaning in the wording in the Constitution of the United States is considered a disqualifying and extreme View.

Chris Coons is an old Biden aide, so what do you expect him to say? Biden has been in DC for over 47 years as a liberal Democrat and “UniParty” corrupt lawyer-politician. During those 47 years Biden has had a lot of aides and employees, who when their current political comments are reported by the liberal media, are not identified as former Biden aides.

You're 1 of 100, Coons. We know you don't like her, so just cast your vote and shut up.

If they were somehow kept from lying, they couldn't say anything at all.

Gee, i haven't noticed that President Trump is adding judges to any court, have you? Not a word about adding a few more to the Supreme, either. Unless i missed it somehow. Coons is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Coons is just another democrat liar trying to provide cover for the dementia-ridden Trojan Horse.
What, no push back from Wallace for Coons' fabrications? Gee, there's a shock. Not.

When liberal Democrats like Coons falsely claim that by nominating Amy Barrett to the US Supreme Court is “packing the court” they are talking to their very low information voters who know nothing about the Supreme Court or how many Justices actually sit on the Supreme Court. When the Democrats do things like that, the liberal media up and runs with that bogus information, never clarifying or even pointing out the liberal Democrat false claim.

I guess they all got the memo this morning about the new mantra: court packing.

What the Democrats are doing here is called battlespace preparation. They understand quite well that court packing is the practice of adding seats to SCOTUS and then filling them with 'friends'. They also know that a whole lot of Americans don't understand that definition, so they're laying the groundwork now by claiming the Republicans are engaging in court packing. Then, when they regain power and engage in actual court packing they can use this as justification for their actions, ie. the Republicans did it when they were in power so we're justified in doing it too. Progressives/Democrats are utterly and completely dishonest and cynical and are morally bankrupt. I believe the Democrat Party is a magnet for sociopaths.

As always, trying to blame the Repubs for something they have been doing for years/ Can't get elected on ;policy, so pack the courts. When the repubs recover from that, it's time for BLM an Antifa and riots. It's all they have left in their quiver!

Chris Coons is the kind of man who stands by and grins like a cheshire cat while Joe Biden sniffs his daughter all while the daughter is trying to get awhile from creepy Joe.
