Straight from the constitution. Joe Biden is an executive. Supreme Court expansion is legislative aka Congress. Even if this comes up, they all have to decide to do it, and it has to survive a filibuster. Two right-wing democrats ain't letting that shyt happen in the Senate. So if he runs his mouth but congress doesn't put up or cannot pass a bill, is it still symbolic for Biden to bluster?

In this case NO.
He's the leader of the Party. IT'S HIS FUKKING JOB to get his party in line and do something!!
Greatest power the POTUS has (besides military powers) is to use that office as a bully pulpit!!
FDR couldn't do it when the courts were obstructing his New Deal policies. But at least he fukking tried. Eventually he got people and enough politicians on his side that he didn't need to expand the Court.
Biden witnessed the GOP steal a Supreme Court seat. He witnessed RGB refuse to step down, knowing she was in poor health. Gambling on stupid ass HRC winning the 2016 election.
The GOP will do anything to get their way.
What are the Democrats willing to do????
