Has Susan Sarandon addressed the SCOTUS' support for gutting voting rights?

Susan Sarandon argued that it would be better if Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, because this would bring the Revolution to America faster.
Now we have a Supreme Court dominated by racist judges poised to make it very difficult for minorities to vote.
Has Susan Sarandon revisited her comment, considering that this thread to Democracy wouldn't have occurred had Hillary Clinton been elected? Is the gutting of civil rights part of her "revolution"?

“Some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately, if he gets in. Then things will really, you know, explode,” Sarandon said, referring to the political “revolution” Sanders preaches about on the trail.

Hayes clarified that Sarandon was referring to the Marxist concept of revolution, in that Trump would create such a split in America that the upheaval would result in dramatic change.

That was 8 years ago.
