John McCain's Got Balls, and He's Right: Corporations Are Not People

He's a pretty good man. I hope it won't be too long until this is overturned. Shame on the people trying to enforce this. "Pressed by host Judy Woodruff, McCain expanded his critique to include Citizens United, which negated laws designed to curb corporate corruption of politics dating back to 1907 and the administration of Republican President Theodore Roosevelt.  He said: “Yes, that is a great deal of money (Adelson’s contribution).  And, again, we need a level playing field and we need to go back to the realization that Teddy Roosevelt had that we have a limit on the flow of money and that corporations are not people.” “That’s why we have different laws that govern corporations than govern individual citizens and so to say that corporations are people, again, flies in the face of all the traditional Supreme Court decisions that we have made — that have been made in the past.”
