Micah Warren: Honestly corporations not having political speech 60 days before an election wouldn't make me lose a lot of sleep

This may be the worst thing I've read in a long time. It's embarrassing. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

I would argue that: on the eve of electing an overt fascist is the *worst* time to run a piece against the 1A.

Did you read it?

yes. giving up freedoms to avoid addressing the actual problem is a sucker's game. it is not the way to erode monopolistic or authoritarian control.

what freedoms are you concerned about losing?

this doesn't strike me as a serious question, given the context. do you have something you want to say?

This was a hundred percent serious question. What freedoms do you lose if Citizen's United was overturned?

Non-profits, labor unions, and corporations would lose their right to engage in political speech 60 days before an election or 30 days before a primary. The Citizens United decision surprised me: I expected 9-0, not 5-4. Political speech is core to the 1A.
