Quote of the day - 06-29-2011

If you thought the Citizens United ruling was bad in that it made corporations equal to individuals in terms of political speech ...... this should scare you beyond shit-less.

If you are critical of Citizens United you should be critical of this decision. The effect of Citizen's United was t say that corporations are equal to individuals in terms of their political speech rights. But the effect of this case is even broader. Walmart here has a right not available to individuals. No individual could assert that his business is so complex that he should not be subject to a class action.



The combined effect of these two case is that corporations have the rights of individuals AND additional rights., making corporations a class of citizen superior to the individual.
