Haven't we bitched this entire time that government needs to stay out private businesses and now you're asking if the constitution should get involved?

I'd settle for massive campaign finance reform.

Corporations, entities, people, dogs, and cats are all limited to $25 per candidate per year.

Pacs - gone or prohibited from sponsoring, creating or running political ads.

Lysander Spooner exposed the hypocrisy of the constitution before the civil war.

It’s pretty much worthless and has been since John Marshall was appointed to the court.

It already applies to corporations - corporations are just people acting collectively for a purpose through a fictional corporate legal identity.

It's not like corporations are rocks, gemstones or chimpanzees.

apply?
Are you suggesting (1) that corporation should be entitled to the same Constitutional protections as natural persons OR (2) that corporations should be subject to the same Constitutional limitations as governmental entities.

Like banking companies shutting off service to gun stores would be illegal under the 2nd amendment.

Cloud hosting services kicking off political or religious websites would be illegal under the first.

Google taking your information and doing god knows with it would be illegal under the 4th.
Absolutely not. Horrible policy.
