Sanders takes dead aim on Citizens United ruling Any nominee he’d ever make to the Supreme Court would need to be opposed to it.

Sen. Bernie Sanders hates the Supreme Court Citizens United ruling and if he becomes president he'll make sure his Supreme Court nominees vote to overturn it, he said Sunday.

“If elected president, I will have a litmus test in terms of my nominee to be a Supreme Court justice and that nominee will say that they are going to overturn this disastrous Supreme Court decision,” the Vermont independent said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Though he understands why Hillary Clinton will be using a Super PAC to raise funds – she has said she doesn’t like it but she has to compete – he will not use one, he said. The senator, who is now seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, has long warned about the insidious influence of big money in politics.

Since his presidential announcement less than two weeks ago, Sanders said nearly 90,000 people have donated to his campaign, averaging $43 each.

Athough he doesn’t think he’ll outspend Clinton or Republican Jeb Bush, Sanders said he'll be able raise enough money to run a strong campaign. And he believes he can beat Clinton.

Tagging himself the most progressive member of the Senate, Sanders said he believes he can appeal to voters during the current “very strange moment in American history,” referring to the nation’s current unequal distribution of income.

He cited his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, vote against the Iraq war, and campaign against the Keystone pipeline as policies that will set him apart from Clinton.
