News Alert: Supreme Court Rejects Campaign Spending Limits

[Mark Kohut]

Congress has to pass legislation that takes away 'legal personhood' from corporations, ...but fat chance......since real persons have no right even to their health.................

Do you think it is entirely coincidental that TRP seems to think our humanness started disappearing as corporations became legally "human"???

Almost inversely proportional....as if Maxwell's Demon sorted out the limited humanness molecules.........
