LISTEN: D21 President Fred Wertheimer On Supreme Court Siding With Sen. Ted Cruz In Campaign Finance Case

“The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority sided with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday, ruling that a federal ban on outsiders repaying a candidate’s campaign loan to himself after an election violates the constitutional guarantee of free speech,” National Public Radio correspondent Nina Totenberg reported on Monday.

The decision, Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer told NPR, represents “a continuing pattern of extreme hostility by the Supreme Court ever since Chief Justice Roberts came on the Court. They have really tilted the system to the very wealthy in this country.”
