Russ Feingold on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold critiques the United States’ failures in dealing with al Qaeda after 9/11, stressing the importance of the U.S. making a concerted effort to learn more about the world as human relations grow more complicated.

Feingold, a major advocate of comprehensive campaign finance reform and co-author of the McCain-Feingold Act, goes on to give his input regarding the current state of campaign finance reform, suggesting we’re currently witnessing “the worst corruption in perhaps the last 100 years.” Feingold’s PAC Progressives United advocates the need for new and more progressive Supreme Court Justices in the coming years so that we might have a composition in the Court that will overturn Citizens United, a case Feingold calls “one of the worst decisions in the history of the country.”
