Sen. Ted Cruz claims Democrats"can't admit" their gratitude over his Supreme Court victory that challenged federal limits on the amount of funds candidates can raise from donors to pay back personal debt after elections.
Cruz claimed there was a level of gratitude"even among Democrats" but that"they can't admit it because their side is a big fan of stifling the free speech." While Justice Elena Kagan led a dissent joined by Democratic-appointed justices arguing the decision will"further" collapse the U.S. political system, she conceded that candidates from both political parties will benefit from the ruling, writing,"The only loser is the public."
Some Democrats publicly condemned the high court's decision, including Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who slammed the ruling as"another victory for right-wing donors in their assault on our campaign finance system," according to a press readout.
