I'm assuming that you are referring to Citizens United v. FEC [1]. That was a controversial decision. I kinda disagree with framing it as "money is speech" tho

I'm assuming that you are referring to Citizens United v. FEC [1]. That was a controversial decision.
I kinda disagree with framing it as "money is speech" though. It's more like "the First Amendment also applies to large faceless associations of individuals (i.e. corporations)".That has to be true at some level, otherwise the government could fetter the press.
