Please cite me the part of the Constitution where it says that corporations have the same rights as individual people.So why have they enjoyed those rights?Cite the SCOTUS ruling where corporations were declared 'people' and were said to be entitled to the same Constitutional rights as individuals.I won't hold my breath.Corporations only came into existence because Businessmen needed a way to protect their personal assets. It is away to avoid personal responsibility. Since Corporations sole purpose is to separate itself from the "individual" I don't see how it can be argued that they have the rights of an individual. They're entirely a financial entity and should be treated as such. The other argument is associated with "Television". We already have laws in place censoring basic TV. You can't curse or have pornography of any kind. Suddenly, when it comes to Corporate Political Propaganda, we're faced with conservatives arguing "Freedom of Expression" is applicable to TV? It is Ironic that these 5 Conservative Judges may have opened the door for Pornography on American Television.
