Naive, or deliberately "business friendly"? Citizens United amplifies the power of those citizens who form corporations; government officials are now more likely to be responsive to their interests. This is consistent with the principle of "equal opportunity but not equal outcomes", in that any citizen can theoretically form a corporation, so it can be argued as not discriminatory. In practice it is the wealthy who are benefit from speaking with the voice of a corporation, and the power of non-corporate individual citizens is diminished correspondingly. But again, a consistent theme of conservatism is that freedoms of the wealthy should not be unduly constrained.
