I can't but paraphrase, it just happened. But as I understood it to be he called the Supremes ignorant of what campaigns are all about.
He found great fault with the fact that our elections can now be bought.
And he said that the end result of their erroneous decision about giving corporations the power to buy elections is that there will be some catastrophe.
He indicated that in his opinion there will be the emergence of a third party in the future.
All told I got the impression that it was a veiled criticism of what his party has become, and a plain and unadulterated criticism of the Supreme Court decision that corporations are people.
I was quite surprised at his candor.
Still can't stand him, though.

I remember one appearance when all he talked about was Global Warming, had gone on a Senate trip to glacier territory, north of Scandanavia, and was horrified at what he saw.

Even McCain knows the world isn't ready for any more Republican supremes.
