But denying corporations freedom of speech is in no way the same thing as denying individuals free speech. Each person making up a corporation has the same right of free speech as every other individual in this country. Corporations, because of their collective power and resources, have an unfair advantage over individuals, so granting them the right of free speech essentially has the effect of denying individuals the right of free speech, because large and powerful corporations have the ability to determine what messages get heard and which ones don't.

But I agree that with the court we have now, it would take a miracle to get an outcome that is good for democracy.
