[quote=Ted King]I don't know how you can do a whole lot about the problem without either:
a) amending the Constitution to diminish free speech rights for corporations, unions and other large interest collectives...
You don't have to amend the constitution. The constitution doesn't give any rights to corporations.
Just pass a law that says that all laws that may be interpreted to give corporations the rights or privileges of persons henceforth shall not be interpreted to give them legal rights that may be enforced against any persons natural or fictional.
What about this...
"Commercial free speech" is not "corporate free speech."
Corporations do not have constitutional rights and privileges. What rights they have in the federal courts come by way of Articles I-III, granted via legislative or executive law or by judicial interpretation.
