Biden does not know how to pack the court:

[quote]Mr Biden promised to appoint a black woman to the bench
just before last year's South Carolina primary which rescued his
then faltering campaign for the Democratic nomination.
Although there is no current vacancy, the jostling has already
started on Capitol Hill in anticipation of a seat becoming
vacant.
Stephen Breyer, one of three liberal justices left on the
nine-strong Supreme Court, is 82 and should he step down Mr
Biden will be able to make a nomination at a time when, thanks
to vice president Kamala Harris's casting vote, the Democrats
has a majority in the Senate.
...
According to the New York Times, Jim Clyburn, the
highest-ranking African-American in Congress, is pushing the
case of Michelle Childs, a judge in South Carolina.[/quote]
Replacing a leftist with another leftist results in zero
arithmetic improvement. Biden should be trying to get Childs
onto the bench before Breyer steps down, so that when Breyer
does step down he can appoint another leftist. Only then does he
get one seat back. Either he should pursue removal of
Kavanaugh/Barrett, or else he should expand the bench.

Meanwhile, Trump's court packing continues working for him:

All the while, the Supreme Court continues pushing the US
rightwards:

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 5-3 conservative
majority that ruled against a Mexican citizen who entered the
U.S. illegally and has lived in the country for 25 years.

Gorsuch wrote for the court that Pereida failed to prove he was
not convicted of a serious crime.
Under immigration law, “certain nonpermanent aliens seeking to
cancel a lawful removal order must prove that they have not been
convicted of a disqualifying crime,” Gorsuch wrote.[/quote]

In the 7-2 ruling, the justices sided with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, thwarting the Sierra Club's bid to obtain
documents concerning a regulation finalized in 2014 relating to
power plants. Barrett and the court's other five conservative
justices were joined by liberal Justice Elena Kagan in the
majority, with liberals Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia
Sotomayor in dissent.
The Senate approved Barrett for a lifetime job on the top U.S.
judicial body on Oct. 26 after a contentious and accelerated
confirmation process in the weeks before the Nov. 3 presidential
election.[/quote]
By the way, I told you Kagan was no good:

[quote]Kagan was born on April 28, 1960, in Manhattan, the
second of three children[6][7] of Robert Kagan, an attorney who
represented tenants trying to remain in their homes, and Gloria
(Gittelman) Kagan, who taught at Hunter College Elementary
School.[8][9] Both her parents were the children of Russian
Jewish immigrants.[9] [/quote]

Trumpism continues in the Supreme Court:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/supreme-court-overturns-9th-circuits-204105520.html
[quote]The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside a rule used by the
9th Circuit Court in California that presumed immigrants seeking
asylum were telling the truth unless an immigration judge had
made an "explicit" finding that they were not credible.
...
"For many years, and over many dissents, the 9th Circuit has
proceeded on the view that, “[i]n the absence of an explicit
adverse credibility finding [by the agency], we must assume that
[the immigrant's] factual contentions are true' or at least
credible," wrote Justice Neil M. Gorsuch in Garland vs. Dai. He
said this rule was not justified and gave immigrants the benefit
of the doubt in close cases.[/quote]
Gorsuch thinks refugees are guilty until proven innocent. They
assumed Kavanaugh was innocent until proven guilty, so that the
Supreme Court can now apply the opposite principle to refugees.

[quote]Supreme Court conservatives just 'undid one of César
Chávez's greatest accomplishments'
In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the Supreme Court
struck down a California law that gave union organizers access
to farm sites. The decision means people seeking out farm
workers for unionization purposes going forward will be
violating the property rights of agricultural landowners and
food processors, who can now legally keep them off their land.
Critics lamented the result. Niko Bowie, a professor at Harvard
Law, wrote that the regulation "was the product of a years-long
campaign by César Chávez" and the United Farm Workers "to force
agribusiness to respect the dignity and workplace rights of
agricultural workers." Slate's Mark Joseph Stern agreed,
tweeting that the high court's "conservative supermajority just
undid one of César Chávez's greatest accomplishments." He called
it "a complete and total blowout against unions" that marks "an
incredibly dark day for organized labor."[/quote]
