In reply to the discussion: So Greenwald weighs in...telling us to read Kennedy's concurrence, noting that Ginsburg is incorrect [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)The linked tweets include these statements from Greenwald about the decision:
* "None of the justices - even the liberal ones in the Citizens United dissent - disagree that corps have constitutional rights"
* "both Kagan & Breyer accept corporate personhood yet still dissented"
* "Kagan & Breyer refused to join the part of Ginsburg's dissent that argued that RFRA does not apply to for-profit corporations"
I haven't read the decision. Perhaps someone who has can answer a simple question: Is Greenwald correct in his characterization of the opinions?
Call me naive, but I still think truth matters. Greenwald could be a libertarian xenophobe whose analysis of this decision is correct. He could be a brave exposer of NSA abuses whose analysis of this decision is incorrect. To me, the points in the above quotations are more interesting than deciding whether Glenn Greenwald is going to Heaven (especially since I don't even believe in the place).
