Pete Buttigieg just contradicted his own crazy court-packing plan

Pete Buttigieg is not hiding the ball: He wants to pack the Supreme Court. But his own statements supporting the already-radical idea don’t even make sense.

At Tuesday night’s CNN Democratic presidential debate, Buttigieg brought up his plan to increase the number of judges on the Supreme Court when discussion of Roe v. Wade and abortion came up. After both Joe Biden and Julián Castro (not exactly a moderate) distanced themselves from the radical, authoritarian plan, Buttigieg tried to explain their criticisms away, by saying his plan would “depoliticize the court” and that he wouldn’t just appoint judges that agree with him. But Buttigieg said this just one breath after saying he would only nominate judges who support abortion.
