    Citizens United was the final straw in the downfall of America democracy.

    It’s been inevitable since.

    Unless it’s overturned it’s over, and I don’t think they can overturn it.

      Citizens United

      Corporations have been ‘people’ since the 1886 USSC decision in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad.

      Yet somehow, unlike most people, they’ve escaped having to go to jail when they commit crimes. I’d call that an unfair advantage.

        I’ll believe a corporation is a “person” when Texas (or Alabama, Florida, South Carolina etc) executes one of them
