Congressman Greg Casar on Citizens United 2.0

Published | Video Starts at 01:12

… a lot of money now after this horrible Citizens United 2.0 decision, politicians can ask for half a million dollars to be donated essentially to their campaign through various committees. Justice Kagan basically just said in her dissenting opinion that all we have left is a remnant of a remnant of the campaign finance laws we've had in, in the past. This is corruption, plain and simple. It's trying to drown out people's voices by making corporations and the ultra rich be able to buy laws, be able to buy the rules of our society. (01:12–01:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that Justice Kagan stated campaign finance laws are now minimal remnants.
