4. Sure does

This means they can spend as much as they want on elections.

So can corporations and other special interests.

5. No doubt unions will be an exception.
This court is not interested in interpreting the constitution to allow labor to have any voice or power at all. We can anticipate a ruling soon that outlaws them entirely.

8. So if Al Qaeda incorporated here in the US, under a fake name no doubt, they could
buy all the politicians they want?

How come private citizens are limited in the amount they can donate to campaigns but corporations are not?

So, the richer you are the more Freedom of speech you have?

Just think of all that freedom of speech those bankster we bailed out have.

So fascists, I mean corporations are people too?
