“One day sensible restrictions on campaign financing will be the law of this land,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg said Wednesday afternoon at Georgetown University Law Center.
Ginsburg added she would overturn Citizens United if she could; a sentiment she’s said previously. The oldest Supreme Court justice said Wednesday she thought the decision would be reversed and money in politics more restricted.
“I think the system is being polluted by money. It gets pretty bad when it affects the judiciary too, and in some 39 states judges are elected at some level,” Ginsberg said. “When it takes millions of dollars to fund a campaign for a state supreme court something is terribly wrong.”
