[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 677975, member: 11425"] This scariest outcome of this ruling is the further recognition of "personhood" that corporations, in my opinion, unfairly have the rights of. Giving more rights to corporations that are inherently undemocratic, and at the same time expecting us lowly individuals to be able to compete with them, is a recipe for the further erosion of our rights and liberties. And please don't try to sell me on the equality of the shareholder and how that relates to democracy. I am sure the shareholders of Enron, GM, and a host of other failed or failing corporations would beg to differ. [/QUOTE]
