Top Senate Democrat sidesteps questions about expanding Supreme Court

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the number-two Democrat in the Senate, sidestepped questions Sunday about whether he supports progressive calls to expand the size of the U.S. Supreme Court and accused Republicans of expanding the federal courts by blocking Democratic nominees during the Obama administration, then filling large numbers of vacancies under President Donald Trump.

"The American people have watched Republicans packing the court over the last three and a half years, and they brag about it, that they've taken every vacancy and filled it," Durbin said during an interview on "Meet the Press."

Joe Biden has repeatedly refused to detail his stance on the issue of packing the court.
