Yeah for Corporate Personhood!

Seeing as how McCain-Feingold didn't exist prior to 2002, I think democracy will survive.

You're off by about 30 years.

Actually, that's untrue. You have this fancy thing known as a "vote." Unless you sell it, you're alright.

Tell me more about your fantasy world where I have the same political influence as a multibillion dollar corporation.

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! Congrats!

what you said is so out of touch with reality that I belive it borders on dissociation.
