I can see the arguments against giving corporations all rights of a person.
I don't see how you can ban non-profits from advertising against/for someone if they've received money from for-profit companies, though. Trying to keep money out of politics is a battle doomed to fail. Campaign finance reform, and all the regulations that go along with it, serve mainly to help the two main political parties and incumbents prevent challengers, since you need a lawyer(s) to run for government.
Either way, I am very happy with this ruling, because it did unconstitutionally infringe on the free speech rights of non-profit advocacy organizations, in a way to help incumbents.
And the award for hyperbole of the week...goes to you!I came here to post exactly this. I know this country is going to hell in a handbasket, but I never thought the Supreme Court would finally be the one to demolish democracy as we know it. This is...no. THere are no words for this.![]()
