Hillary: Supreme Court ‘Going Back to the 19th Century’

[Editor's Note: Al Sharpton prefaced this interview noting it was recorded before Justice Scalia's passing]

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: "The fact that the supreme court is looking at labor laws, at labor rights, and affirmative action, and women's rights and voting rights, it's frightening to people like me. And there's a lot at stake in this election. What are you going to say that will inspire people that no matter how difficult it is, this is a real time in American history, they have to vote?"
CLINTON: "Boy do I agree with that. There are a lot of reasons why people have to vote in this election. But the supreme court is one that is right at the top. What this court has done is not just to turn the clock back on the great advances that were made in the 20th century, honestly I fear they're going back to the 19th century. Our job should be to make it as easy as possible for hard-working Americans to vote. I want to see every 18-year-old automatically registered. For the life of me, I don't know what it is about democracy that the supreme court majority and Republicans are so afraid of. And when it comes to workers rights and union rights and the right to organize, and to really have a claim on a good, middle-class life, again, the supreme court is acting as though the world isn't what it is. So on every one of these issues whether it's women's rights, immigrant rights, voting rights, the role of money, the unbelievable equation of corporation with people, money with speech, that this court has been engaged in it is a very threatening time, because this court can undo the progress of more than a century. People voted for, people marched for, people died for, and I will do everything to make sure that doesn't happen."
