  Right...because think how is this going to work

  Is it going to be a case of some corp simply expressing their "right to free speech?"

  Of course fucking not. What will happen is that corporations will use the THREAT of massive ad expenditures/ persuasion money to get politicians to tow the company line.

  It will be a race to see who can become the most submissive bitch to rich people. That's what this is about in the real world, not "corporations" as an abstract entity but rich people. And not just rich Americans but anyone who wants to launder money into a campaign.

  Granted, that sounds a lot like our current system, so we'll have to see how much worse it can get (famous last words)
