This is my first diary, so try not to be too harsh. It strikes me that many of the stories that I have read about today's horrendous decision allowing corporations and unions to donate as much money as they want to political campaigns talk about how corporations are somehow quasi-persons. They are treated a persons leagally, but cannot vote or hold office.

Seems to me that it the next logical step for Justice Roberts and his four traitors is to decide that if corporations are 'persons' and can engage in free speech and donate unlimited funds to elections, they should be able to run for office. We already have 'the Sprint Center', 'FedEx Stadium' and so on. Why not President AIG, or Senator BofA?

Seems to me that if political offices can be bought and sold, the corporations doing the buying ought to get some recognition for the politicans they have bought.
