In a monumental 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States held today, in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, that, inter alia, corporate speech regarding political candidates is protected by the First Amendment. On the other hand, the Court did uphold certain campaign disclosure rules.
I have not yet had a chance to read the opinion, so analysis and details to follow (time permitting).

On the contrary, this ruling reflects two highly contestable positions: 1) that money = speech; and 2) that corporations are persons, constitutionally considered. If these two things are true, then the poor would seem to be less than fully human.
