Glenn Greenwald writes about the Citizens United case, where the Supremes removed some of the restrictions on corporate campaign spending. Greenwald considers himself a free speech absolutist and is generally supportive of the ruling.
Grennwald suggests that any one who believes corporations are not people should answer these questions.
Here’s my reply:

Subject: Are Churches People Too?Hi Glenn-
“Do you believe the FBI has the right to enter and search the offices of the ACLU without probable cause or warrants, and seize whatever they want? …How about your local business on the corner which is incorporated?”
Churches can be incorporated. Are churches people too?
Organizations (groups of people) are different from individual persons. Maybe those differences need to be spelled out.
Cheers, Jason
