Second 2016 Presidential Debate: on Government Reform


Jill Stein: Supreme Court needs to be for the people and their rights

Donald Trump: I am looking to appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia. I'm looking for judges that will respect the Constitution of the United States. And the Second Amendment which is totally under siege.

Jill Stein: We need Supreme Court justices who are ready to stand up for everyday people. That means to end the stranglehold that big money has on our political system. That means not only overturning Citizens United, but supporting that money is not speech and that corporations are not people. We need strong support for our rights as voters. The Supreme Court needs to be strongly in support of women's rights, the rights of immigrants, workers' rights and LGBTQ rights.
