Free speech. She opposes Kavanaugh because of his adherence to free speech.

"He has revealed his bias against limits on campaign donations which places him completely out of the mainstream of this nation," McCaskill wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. "He wrote, ‘And I have heard very few people say that limits on contributions to candidates are unconstitutional although I for one tend to think those limits have some constitutional problems.’”

She also suggested that Kavanaugh would “give free reign [sic] to anonymous donors and foreign governments through their citizens to spend money to interfere and influence our elections with so-called ‘issue ads.’” She later tied him to Russia, stating that a Russian company “indicted for election interference is currently using Judge Kavanaugh’s opinion to argue for their innocence.”

McCaskill further said she was “uncomfortable about his view on Presidential power as it relates to the rule of law, and his position that corporations are people” but that his support of “unlimited donations and dark anonymous money, from even foreign interests” was the “determining factor” in her decision to vote against him.

McCaskill is alluding to the Citizens United Supreme Court case, which determined that political campaign spending was protected by the First Amendment. The Left disagrees with this, and continuously rails against the decision, even while accepting so-called dark money allowed by it.

McCaskill can’t afford to piss off Democratic voters before the election.

You assume politicians are more concerned with their own position than the rule of law or the Constitution.


Oh, wait, you're a democrat, so you're right. Never mind.

If Congress does not like the SCOTUS' Citizen's United decision, there's nothing stopping them from proposing an amendment to the Constitution dealing with campaign financing.
