> The corporate nature of its target is, again, entirely irrelevant. Why? In New York Times v. Sullivan, the corporation was being sued for what it did. The New York Times reporter didn’t print and distribute all those newspapers. The corporation did that. And what you’re calling “tortured logic” was in fact the government’s argument in Citizens United. It argued that it wasn’t regulating the filmmaker. It was regulating the corporation spending funds to make and distribute the film. So it sounds like we agree Citizens United was correctly decided! | ||

> In New York Times v. Sullivan, the corporation was being sued for what it did. And its status as a corporation was irrelevant to the result. If it was @ceejayoz v. Sullivan, the ruling would've been the same. > So it sounds like we agree Citizens United was correctly decided! There's that torturing again. I believe CU illegitimately impacts the voting rights of American citizens. | ||
