Under current law, Karl is correct, but I disagree with current law that recognizes corporations as legal persons. Remove that error from past legal decisions, and corporations should have no rights at all regarding "free speech" but individuals should.

The problem here is that corporations, including non-US corporations, can now spend money on US election campaigns to influence their outcomes. This is silly.

This decision is too broad and needs to be restricted at least to corporations that are based in the United States and subject to US law.

I reiterate that the current problem is not this decision specifically, but the entire legal construct of artificial persons being granted person status under the law.
