Supreme Court Won't Hear Appeal Over Corporate Campaign Contributions

13. Except that....

even with free speech, you do not, as a US citizen, have exemption of consequences of those free speech rights... corporations and all the groups you mentioned do. Do I think all those groups should have free speech rights? No, I don’t.

I think they should be on even footing with the rest of the citizenry. If they are going to enjoy the same rights, they should be subject to the same punishments. The reality is, and has always been, that corporations play by a different set of rules.

If corporations can create such things as EULAs and compel arbitration and create all manner of user agreements (no longer referred to as contracts, as that would confer additional rights) that often have the power of law behind them, and in effect strip away many of the rights of the natural born citizenry, then I feel its reasonable and just to eliminate their ability to claim free speech in much the same way they are trying to cripple my rights.
