You folks arguing the "non-personhood" of corporations miss the point. The First Amendment doesn't read "The right of persons to speak freely shall not be infringed." (paraphrasing the second amendment into the first) It reads: First Amendment wrote..Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Nowhere does it say that only PEOPLE may have freedom of speech. It says that Congress may not pass any law abridging the freedom of speech OR (not and) the press. Therefore all entities in The United States are entitled to freedom of speech - irrespective of who or what they are. If you disagree with The Constitution you amend it - you don't come up with twisted BS to try to justify abrogating the black letter law therein. Again: The test of whether someone truly supports The Constitution is not whether they like what happens when it is applied to positions they agree with. It is whether they will support it when the conclusions reached are contrary to what they would prefer. Last modified: 2010-01-23 17:06:19 by genesis
