Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the Citizens United opinion, is still alive. Could we get him to engage in a public discussion of his role in the utter destruction of representative democracy by authoritarian oligarchs, for which he carries heavy responsibility?

LWV responds to SCOTUS' 6 – 3 decision in Trump v. United States. This erosion of democracy expands executive authority to give sitting US presidents the powers of a king — which is exactly what our republic was established to avoid. Full statement: buff.ly/3L8wXHG
