                        AN AFFRONT TO DEMOCRACY

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, the Supreme Court's conservative 
majority has decided the very wealthiest Americans should now be 
allowed to have even more influence in politics to advance their 
personal or political or business agendas.

  The Court has allowed even more money into campaigns, and this 
threatens to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.
  Today's Supreme Court McCutcheon decision is the worst affront to 
democracy since Citizens United. Congress must take action.
