The article gets it wrong in the very first sentence. Citizens United was not about corporate personhood at all, nor did it expand corporate personhood. Nor did it have anything whatsoever to do with donations to political campaigns. It was strictly a free speech issue decided on 1st Amendment grounds - “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech”. And that’s exactly what the parts of McCain-Feingold struck down attempted to do.

Never in my life have I seen a SCOTUS decision so misunderstood, I don’t think the critics even bothered to read it let alone understand the issues involved. And just think if it had been decided the way the critics were wanting - that the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to corporations. Then the government would be free to censor any way they like corporate-owned news media such as the very paper that article is written in, as well as corporate-owned television, radio, and internet news sources. The decision was a victory for free speech, something we all should cherish - even for those with whom we disagree.
