The issue isn't free speech. The issue is the definition of "person"

1. No more "mergers and acquisitions"

Corporations will need to marry now.

[Democrat_in_Houston]

3. Funny!

:rofl:

I guess this is the human condition - to laugh in the midst of such awful news. Frankly, I'm still in shock, so I don't know how I'm even laughing.

[JuniperLea]

9. Me too...

Laughing or the alternative... I'm just not the suicidal type! I've even laughed at funerals for crying out loud!

:rofl:

[tridim]

7. But wouldn't that be same sex marriage?

That's the worst thing in the world according to the politicians they own.

[JuniperLea]

10. Spot freaking on!

They will have to determine their sex right away~! Mr. or Ms. Corporation needs to tell when we ask!

[tridim]

14. Whatever they say, I won't believe them unless I see their genitals.

Turn your head and cough Mr. Exxon.

Hey, fair is fair. We have to disclose our sex on documents all the time.

[JuniperLea]

16. ROFLMFAO!

Brilliant!

:rofl:

2. if it can't register to vote and VOTE in a local precinct, it is NOT a person nt

[kenny blankenship]

4. They should be subjected to the inheritance tax if they're people

With every changing of the CEO - take half their corporate capital and pay down the national debt.

[Faux pas]

5. We should all register for corporatehoodship. Maybe we could

get their tax breaks too.

[tridim]

13. I just had a similar idea in another thread.

If they're going to force us to play this crazy game, let's incorporate the people.

[Faux pas]

15. We'd have a lot more rights and privileges if we did. I'm sure there

are enough big brains here on DU to figure out how we could do this. I'm serious. We'd have so much more power than the non person corporations do.

[skorpo]

17. And register and be bound by the laws of each state in which they do business or sell products

They should also pay taxes in all states in which they advertise since each is a person.
There--Financial crises in the 50 states are solved...

[FiveGoodMen]

6. Sad that it must be pointed out, but you're absolutely right.

[endless october]

8. perhaps we should consider charging more corporations with murder

or manslaughter.

they're "people" and all now, right?

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. +1.

:thumbsup:

[ShockediSay]

11. So shouldn't these corporate persons have the right to vote?

And if one corporation has a hundred subsidiaries that would be 101 votes.

But hey, relax, with this decision and the support of the Fascist Federalist Society of

Judges on SCOTUS, voting doesn't matter any more.

We're well on our way toward Fascism as there was under Mussolini, as there is under
Berlusconi, and now as we've got it under Scalia.

[glinda]

12. I guess we are less than that now big time. Nothing like rubbing your face in it.
