Corporations are people under US law and "people" can spend as much as they want on election campaigns.
Corporations are persons so they can be be a party to contracts and be legally held to them. I mean, you want corporations to be accountable, right?
Also, what part of "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech" don't you understand?
Not "Congress shall make no law against individuals", not "Congress shall make no law against unions". NO law. Any law restricting the movement of speech, including political contributions, is unconstitutional. You don't need to bring "person" into it.
It's kind of obvious that "freedom of speech" now belongs primarily to those who can pay big bucks for it.
One of the worst decisions ever. Corruption has been enshrined in law.
