Corporate Money Will Reshape Politics

Any limits to donating directly to candidates (I don't know specifics on this, it may not even be legal at all) would be per-corporation.

But there will be no limit to the corporation making its own ad campaign, completely separately (wink wink nudge nudge) from the candidate's campaign.

Yep. This is ridiculous. I still cannot gather the mentality or logic behind this decision. To me its akin to separation of church and state.

I just don't see how this really has anything to do with the First Amendment. Refresh my memory, when did corporations become people again?
