SCHUMER STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT RULING IN 'CITIZENS UNITED' CASE

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY), the Chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, released the following statement Thursday regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Citizens United case:

“This activist and far reaching decision is even worse than we had feared. This opens the floodgates and allows special interest money to overflow our elections and undermine our democracy. The bottom line is, the Supreme Court has just predetermined the winners of next November’s election. It won’t be the Republican or the Democrats and it won't be the American people; it will be Corporate America.”
