“Corporations are people as per already established rulings.”
“Political contributions are considered speech as per already established rulings.”
“Hawaii is taking away poor poor corporations right to free speech under the first amendment, therefore it’s unconstitutional and will be made null and void. Have fun shoveling money at your chosen candidates corporations! Don’t forget my paycheck!”
Not sure what the downvotes are for unless they just don’t like having a video as a response.
I’m a bit confused on the language because he says the state the corporation was created in give them their rights, so wouldn’t any corporation not from that state be able to spend anyway?
