Joe Lieberman: “I am so incensed by the proliferation. We are using military terms, quite appropriately, on this campaign finance…”

“I am so incensed by the proliferation. We are using military terms, quite appropriately, on this campaign finance amendment. I note the House chose to use appropriately a militaristic term--``invasion''-- when talking about their privileges. But our democracy is so much under threat from the corrosive spread of money in our system that I think we have a moment of opportunity here to get together to pass this amendment and make the statement; in other words, a procedural vote on this. My dear friend and chairman in the House on this very matter on another bill a week or so ago fell short of passage on a motion to recommit, I believe, by barely 10 votes. I am not prepared to make a judgment about how the House will vote on this matter. But I think we have a chance to speak.”
