On the recordOctober 23, 2019
I would just like to note that it was eight Justices who said, in the Citizens United case, that, while the First Amendment protects political speech, disclosure permits citizens and shareholders to react to the speech. They were the ones, in the Citizens United case, who urged transparency. And it was Justice Kavanaugh himself who pointed out that foreign citizens don't have a First Amendment right to meddle in our elections. Mr. Chair, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Sarbanes), who has done so much on our ethics and election reform effort.
