More From Bernie Sanders

As a result of the citizens united supreme court decision, american democracy is being undermined by the ability of the koch brothers and other billionaire families. these wealthy contributors can literally buy politicians and elections by spending hundreds of millions of dollars in support of the candidates of their choice. we need to overturn citizens united and move toward public funding of elections so that all candidates can run for office without being beholden to the wealthy and powerful.
Running Brother Powerful
Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
Here is what hillary clinton said. crooked hillary said, "you know, when we talk about the supreme court" - fake smile - "it really raises the central issue in this election, namely what kind of country are we going to be." well, she's right about that, actually, but not in the way she means. "what kind of opportunities will we provide our citizens." the supreme court's not about that. supreme court is the law, and their cases are not about opportunities being provided for our citizens.
Country Mean Opportunity
The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
The supreme court is about the constitution. it is about constitutionality. it is about the law. at its bear simplest, it's about the law. it is not about the democrat party agenda. because that's what it's become. the whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the supreme court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. and if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the supreme court.
Party Warrior Justice
What the supreme court did in citizens united is to say to these same billionaires and the corporations they control: 'you own and control the economy, you own wall street, you own the coal companies, you own the oil companies. now, for a very small percentage of your wealth, we're going to give you the opportunity to own the united states government.' this is the essence of what citizens united is all about - and that's why it must be overturned.
