When will the Left apologize??

Remember earlier this year when our august Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, a grand decision thanks to Conservative Justices who actually know how to interpret the constitution.....remember how that ilicited a slew of shrill responses from the likes of Keith Olbermann,Rachel Maddow,and other other Left-Wing

"Conservative Justices who actually know how to interpret the constitution"

Oh Steve, how hypocritical can you be? I'm assuming based upon your lack of critical thinking that you a "knee-jerk" conservative, and therefore a "strict-constructionist."

As a "strict-constructionist" tell me about the part of the Constitution that gives a corporation personhood. Don't strain you brain. It doesn't exist. It has evolved through a series of Supreme Court Decisions commencing with Dartmouth College v. Woodward in 1819, which recognized a Corporations right to contract.

I think that we both would agree that that is a necessity in the free market. But why should they be allowed to do that? It's not stated in the constitution.

Are you following me so far? Or should I go slower? Steve, if we are to have a strict construction of the Constitution, wouldn't Dartmouth College be an erroneous holding. Ergo, wouldn't The modern day Marx Brothers' (Chico Roberts, Zeppo Alitto, Groucho Scalia, Harpo Thomas and Gummo Kennedy) decision relying upon this case also be erroneous.

Furthermore, if we are to have strict construction, that presupposes that the Constitution is unambiguous on its face. Ergo, no need for interpretation.

You don't understand the Constitution, do you? It outlines the powers granted to government and even takes pains to declare that yes, everything else is a right of the people or the states.

So no, the government can't declare that "corporations" can't do things that are not in its list of enumerated powers.

Suck it.

It's good to see that you haven't lost your charm.

Three years of Law School and 28 years of practice give me an understanding of the constitution.

So tell me where in the Constitution does it enumerate that a Corporation is entitled to the same rights as a person?

No where.

That has evolved from case law.

If you weren't a strict hypocrite, you would object to that.

By the way, don't end your sentence in a preposition. Suck it, Asshole!

Furthermore, if it's the right of the states, why is the Congress involved?
