>> again, most of these decisions are first amendment decisions so it is very hard, but we will explore what kind of legislative responses are possible within the bounds of the supreme court decision. but as i said, it makes the udall constitutional amendment much more attractive. >> the chief actually laid out a legislative responses you could take. have you thought about those? >> they said all along we could implement more disclosure. we tried. our republican colleagues used to say that disclosure is the answer. they have in an act of supreme self-interest been against disclosure. >> i guess [indiscernible] >> i'm upset as an american. as somebody who believes government can be a force for good, this decision just weakens everybody's faith in government.

democracy. if people lose face in -- faith in democracy, faith in some ability to control the events that are occurring in washington, the actions of elected officials, the average person loses that faith, this is a much different country and i fear the consequences. i genuinely fear what is happening here. go talk to average people. they are just so disillusioned in the system. one of the main reasons -- look, the tea party has gridlocked our government. how does the tea party have such power? some of it is that they dominate some of the republican primaries but much of it is they have 20 people and they can call up and push a button and say put this money in. we sought when the government was shut down. the ads in your district that you are opposing, a small number

of people who really want to paralyze the government are just being given such huge disproportionate weight. but the average citizen who doesn't follow in detail because government doesn't work. that is terrible for our democracy. >> and if you are a court watcher, note the lack of humility and the lack of judicial conservatism to these decisions. these are judges who are making sweeping determinations without trying to bring the court together, without trying to unify their colleagues the way judge warren, for instance, famously did in brown versus board of education. they are trespassing into an nothing. and in which they have been wrong.

the spending will be independent of candidates and it will be transparent -- you will know who it is. those decisions were factually wrong. they find the fact that appellate judges are not supposed to do. they have been indisputably proven wrong and they won't go back and reconsider their plain error. they just keep charging forward. that is not the sign of a court that is either -- that is anything but activist. and it is the son of a court that has an agenda, that is really worry some when they take something that has been defended for million -- for hundreds of years with blood and tears of americans and begins to turn us into a country where the money rules and everybody else can go hang. >> does anybody think that the coax brothers independent -- that the koch brothers freedom of speech have been violated? the argument just doesn't make any sense. and it shows instead it is an argument from people who does not know how politics really works and the fx of money away

from the interest of people too often. >> can you just -- can you discuss any legislation affecting wall street reform? >> climate change. how many senators have a record on climate change before his citizens united came along? john mccain ran for president to do something about climate change. mark kirk voted for waxman markey in the house. then comes citizens united. name one who will come to the floor right now and admit that climate change is a real problem and that harbin pollution is anything worth doing about. that is a real problem. that is hitting our farms, our families, our forests, our shorelines, our fishermen. the fact that we have a party that is in complete denial of

that subject and that it comes complete in the wake of citizens united. if you can't put those dots together, then you really can't although a story very well and that is really what is going on. >> we don't mean any of you here. [laughter] >> thank you. morning, shawhis

mccutcheon spoke about the supreme court's decision in his favor. issuehink this is an about independent, private people exercising free speech. all americans are entitled to free speech. this is a first amendment guaranteed under the constitution. >> the supreme court agreed with the. if you sit back and say i want to be politically involved as if i am a person of great means and i have all these candidate saying i want an unlimited amount of money, don't you worry that these two corruption? it is a political act devotee.
