re: #334 Dark_Falcon

This is going to be the last thing I say on this issue tonight:

I’d actually be fine with a Constitutional Amendment that effectively stated:

“Corporations, unions, voluntary organizations, etc are not persons, but because the investments, dues, and donations that create them are the property of persons and because they thus represent the interests of persons they therefore have some rights regarding property and speech.”

Obviously, we’d need to figure out how to state what those rights were and where they differed from the rights of persons, but that sort of amendment would in my opinion protect everyone’s interests best.

You won’t answer it, of course, but I’m curious how things were deficient before Citizens United, in your eyes.
