Why don't you answer the following question I've asked of you several times already. What do the following words mean with respect to SCOTUS's Citizen's United decision?Congress shall make no law.....abridging the freedom of speechLet's see how you feel when George Soros gives $100 million to Obama's super PAC. LOLCorporations were never actually declared 'people' by the SCOTUS.It was a clerk (J.C. Bancroft Davis) who erroneously wrote that in his headnotes in the Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company case in 1886. It was not in the actual ruling. As a matter of fact, Chief Justice Morrison Remick Waite said that the court did not wish to hear arguments on the question of corporate personhood.Corporate attorneys picked up the language of Davis's headnote and began to quote it like a mantra.And subsequent courts have incorrectly based decisions on the headnotes and not the actual ruling in the case.BTW J.C. Bancroft Davis was the former president of the Newburgh and New York Railway Company.Can you say conflict of interest?
