Daily Kos :: Comments Constitutional Amendments I'd like to see

that said (none / 0)

I'm not in support of the amendment in the diary about this verbatim (or maybe at all).
I'd have to see what the options are, but I do agree with the substance of the diary amendment suggestion - which is to eliminate the 'corporation is a person' judicial fiction.

- I would change the premise (none / 0)
  
  if I accepted the amendment which I'm not sure I do...'companies' don't have free speech, but the people who work for them do. Any company that does anything can print a newsletter, and therefore every corporation that exists could qualify as a 'press', so I think the law has to be set up so that all corporations are treated equally.

    Actually, I'm not for anything saying corporations don't have free speech, just that they are not a 'person' (thus, by extension, removing free speech protection).
