It shouldn't have needed amending. Corporations aren't people for purposes of the first amendment... well, they weren't..
but where are all those "originalist" pretend constitutionalists complaining about it?
It's not a complaint, it's voice. Just like the Union's and PAC's have voice. There is also my Constitutional Right to hear, and decide for myself. Truth is Truth, no matter the source, and we each have a right to hear relevant information in determining what our positions are. It is not for you to censor, what I want or need to hear. Nor is it for me to control what information reaches you.
no... when a union, which is comprised of MEMBERS... and has far more limited resources than multinational corporations, give money, they are required to account for it.
it is not about "voices", it is about "voices" that are constitutionally protected. But for the fact that the right likes the fact that all opposing voices are getting drowned out by the constant din of corporate propaganda, the "constitutionalists" should be besides themselves over Citizens United. It is the worst example of judicial activism I have ever seen.... allowing limitless sums of money from foreign corporations to saturate our political system.
