Nuttiness among the Supremes

ScotusBlog is reporting on the case regarding rights of free speech for corporations. The court is hampered by some case far back in history in which Corporations were granted the rights of people.

Corporations are entirely the creation of Congress. Nothing Congress has done has hampered the rights of shareholders to organize for free speech, Congress simply re-defined their regulatory creation by limiting the use of that creation for political purposes.

The simple question the idiot Supremes should ask themselves is the following: If Congress created a completely new structure, call it a Giggle, and allowed people to form Giggles, would Congress be prohibited from regulating the behavior of Giggles? Absolutely not, Congress made the Giggle contract without restricting anybody's rights, Congress can limit Giggle behavior however it wishes.

Whatever Congress demands of a Giggle has no impact on my rights, except where I, as a voter, voluntary, let Congress grant a Giggle some of my rights. And if voters do allow Congress to grant some of their Due Processes to a Giggle, then voters do so only for that particular two years session of Congress. As soon as the voter re-elects a new Congress, the issue must be revisited.
