It will be interesting to see how much money Big Oil, Drug Companies and the huge Food Combines throw into elections.

I cant believe people are happy with corporations having more influence on an election than any voters.

How many votes do corporations cast?

Then ads make no differance in an election?

I know you people dont really care about democracy but our country just died today and soon there will be a one party system in this country. I bet a whole load of republicans get elected this Nov.

There will be endless lies spread about every issue and people will have no idea what the truth is.

Sheesh!

How funny that his picks for the bench all voted for this huh?

Considering he signed the bill into law, yeah it is rather funny.

But then it was always a bad bill. You cant ban free speech and not get it thrown out.

You've never let not knowing the truth deter you from giving your opinion.

And quite honestly, people will know the truth the same exact way they know it now. through dilligent investigation.

Corporations shouldn't HAVE freedom of speech. They aren't PEOPLE (notwithstanding that little legal fiction).

Congrats to Scalia and his guys... they sure now how to protect those corporate interests!

Then the right thing to do is to stop taxing them as if they are.

Little legal fiction?

No no.

Corporations ARE "persons" for some legal purposes. And although they get no vote in the ballot box, they DO HAVE and SHOULD HAVE the right to freedom of speech.

Furthermore, frankly, WE all should WANT to protect their right to say whateverthefuck they wish to "say."
