| 26. Writing for the majority, Kennedy said |

"political speech of corporations or other associations” cannot “be treated differently under the First Amendment simply because such associations are not ‘natural persons.’ ”
That sounds to me like he is going out of his way to differentiate "persons" from "natural persons", and therefore that he considers the assumption that corporations are persons to be a major part of the rationale for the decision.
