Corporate 'Candidate' for Congress??
I don't think this is what the Supreme Court meant in their recent ruling. A corporation potentially running for a congressional seat is a far different thing. I think an actual living, breathing human being with a heart beating in their chest should be allowed to run for office, and not a corporate mouthpiece. To whom would this corporate candidate represent - the corporation or the voters in the district?
Then again - it would be a firm that considers itself progressive that would pull a stunt like this and clog up the courts with the inevitable litigation.
