Every single one of the lefties arguing against the Citizen's United decision is wishing to remove a citizens right to freely associate and practice their first amendment rights in a group. Well, unless that group, like unions, is supporting their side.

Right here, you show your ignorance. An employee is not a citizen while that employee is under the control of any corporation that is not a non-profit or government institution. A corporation is not a citizen - its a corporation where employees are contracted to perform certain functions within the corporation. A union is not a citizen - it's an organization which exists for the sole purpose of advocating for its members and supporting them in their relationships with their employers.

You have this crazy notion that democracy and individual rights operate in an environment where the Constitutional rights of citizens are not recognized. They don't of course but it appears there is no dissuading you from your errant perceptions that employees enjoy the same rights in the workplace that they enjoy as citizens outside of the workplace.

If you believe that to be so, maybe you need to start a campaign to insist that corporations bestow the same rights to their employees that the Constitution bestows on them as citizens.
