WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Mazie Hirono released the following statement today on the Supreme Court’s overturning of the law prohibiting corporations and unions from spending unlimited amounts of money independently in federal elections.
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling is yet another nod to the wealthy corporate interests in this country,” Hirono said.
“This ruling now allows big corporations to spend large amounts of money to influence elections far beyond the ability of individual Americans.
“The free market free-for-all announced by these justices makes me wonder, ‘What’s next?’ If today’s ruling isn’t legislating from the bench, I don’t know what is.”
