Hmmm...I didn't know the government banned a movie! I could swear it was shown in theatres and on DVD!
Eventually.
Was this about a movie that wasn't banned or was this about allowing corporations first amendment rights? Cuz your beloved
Reason thinks so!
We have me saying CU was about granting corporations a living soul, and we have you saying it was about a movie that was banned but wasn't banned*. I guess Reason and I proved you wrongo again!
Glad to see I edumacated you (again!)
I'm thinking that that you didn't read that full article from Reason. The article was about the 1st Amendment; one of those troublesome legacies of the constitution that gets in the way of your schemes. I'm sure you just searched for the word corporations. The entire case was brought to the Supreme Court because the movie was banned. Not to grant corporations "a living soul."
*Note. Don't pull out the bullshit that Hillary: The Movie was banned by the government because it couldn't be shown on PPV cable! It clearly was a political ad running 90 minutes long and was scheduled immediately (within 30 days) of the Democratic primary and at the time was legally prevented from that by McCain-Feingold. A bipartisan law passed under Bush's regime, tyvm.
I opposed that law, passed under the Bush regime, and welcomed it's demise under the Obama regime.
That is the whole point, and why I suggested you go back and reread the muche arguments about it, because you, and this subject, are a bit boring at this point because of your steadfast ignorance. You guys seem to think the concept of corporate personhood sprung full from
Citizen's United, like Athena popping out of Zeus's forehead, instead of a being a centuries old legal concept. Political speech is the
purpose of the first amendment; not, as you guys think, for protecting crucifix's in bottles of piss being shown at public facilities. The fact that you've exposed yourselves as opposing one of the core principles of our republic sure is revealing.
There are some subjects that you just don't have the background to discuss intelligently, and certainly anything having to do with the law is one of them.
