Best comment of the day from C-SPAN:   “I’ll believe corporations are persons the first time one takes a colonoscopy.”

We have read a number of books about corporate behavior, most of them rousing our moral outrage. Citizens United put the spotlight on the very nature and essence of the corporation. My fuzzy memory of history is that corporations originally were chartered for specific purposes rather than as broadly powerful instruments for arranging and conducting economic affairs much less as persons.

Here is the website of an organization that apparently is seeking  to overturn Citizens United and contains considerable background reading and information  (I haven’t really looked into it).
