Wallace: Will you pack the supreme court
Biden: Ummm....I am not answering that.
A president by does not have the authority to pack the courts!
Granted the Banana Republicans all vote in lock step most always to achieve their political agenda, Democrat Senators and Representatives are not that servile to their parties presidents as the Trumpublicans are.
But it is a constitutional option.
Packing the Supreme Court explained | Constitution Center
Senator Marco Rubio plans to propose a new constitutional amendment to permanently limit the Supreme Court to nine Justices. While Rubio faces a difficult task, the effort does raise some questions.

The answer is that under the Constitution, the number of Supreme Court Justices is not fixed, and Congress can change it by passing an act that is then signed by the President. Article III, Section 1, starts with a broad direction to Congress to establish the court system: “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”
