Reply #80: Oy. It's NOT the Law...

[clear eye]

It's a very controversial interpretation of the law. Thom Hartmann wrote a whole book on it and related issues called "Unequal Protection", there is a website with a lot of good info: , but mainly, there never was a law passed declaring that corporations have the rights of people, only some Supreme Court rulings which said this or that behavior, mostly campaign donations, are protected speech. Most informed people who are not corporatists disagree, and the ACLU continues to take a lot of heat by strong defenders of the 1st amendment on this.
