"'Corporations Are People' Is Built on an Incredible 19th-Century Lie"

Unincorporated businesses may be sued. School boards may be sued. Unions may be sued.

And freedom of the press does not equal allowing corporations to spend massive amounts of money to influence politics. You can have one without the other. It's not really that hard.

Doesn't the First Amendment already give protection to the press? If you take out the words that pertain to freedom of religion, speech and assembly, you basically get this:

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press.

Maybe the employees who disagree with how the corporation funds PACs, etc., they would get a fair share amount of that funding added to their pay analogous to the union dues case currently before the SCOTUS. Or at least shareholders could get their cut returned.

I think it matters a lot what is meant by the term "press" as it is used in this context. What do you all think it should mean?
