Freedom of speech??

Note that Obama’s new crackdown on large banks (too big to fail) didn’t include Goldman Sachs or other large investment banks that were as culpable in the economic collapse (and in some cases moreso) than BofA and JPMorgan.

Yeah, no special interest payback there.

[quote=meadandale]Funny, the first amendment says nothing about the first amendment right to free speech applying to ‘humans’ as opposed to corporations.

By that very same reasoning, since the Constitution didn’t specify equal right is only for straights, gays/lesbians are equal to those straight and should be able to get married.

The judges just gave a ton of ammo to gay rights people.

There were no corporations when the Constitution was written.

There were some entities similar to modern corporations in other parts of the world, (e.g. East India Company), but nothing like these existed in the US.

The corporation is a relatively modern concept. Even younger than our country.
