Senator Chuck Schumer is not happy with the Supreme Court’s decision in McCutcheon v. FEC, which did away with aggregate limits on political contributions. In a press conference yesterday and in subsequent comments he decried the influence of big money in politics, saying that in allowing bigger contributions, “it would be like the 1890s. We’d go back to the days of the robber barons.”
“The Roberts court has yet again turned the clock back on democracy by eliminating the cap on overall donations to federal candidates, political parties, and PACs,” Schumer said on Wednesday. “Today’s ruling, decided once again by the mere slimmest of majorities, is yet another nail in the coffin of our free and fair election system.”
