(4,775 posts)stopping the publishing of the Pentagon Papers with something in this proposed amendment? Go ahead, make your case, should be interesting.
Edit to add: ok re-read the amendment, I see where you're coming from, and it is interesting. No rights of citizens, such as free speech, for corporations. That does seem problematic, good question. Anyone care to elaborate on this?
Money is not speech, that's part II. Corporations are not people, that's part I and is where the question you raised would apply. On its face it seems correct, they're not people. Is Part II enough without Part I? What about unlimited editorial content by a media conglomerate, throwing all of their considerable resources behind an issue or a cause? Should that also be protected? Some interesting consequences for sure, I'll refrain from drawing a conclusion until I learn more about them, thanks.
