    Bullshit, I’ve been consistent. The amendment applies to Congress. It prohibits the government from restricting speech. It doesn’t specify whose speech. They’re not allowed to restrict anyone’s. If you ever bothered to read it, the wording makes that pretty clear. All 10 amendments in the bill of rights are structured that way.

      Corporate speech doesn’t apply and is restricted all of the time

      Why? Because our rights protect people. Corporations should be classified differently.

      Btw, I’m now ordering the restriction of free speech for autobots. And you cant stop me. Lol.

        If you want the government to act without limits entirely based on vibes you must love the current administration.

          You may be right. Corporations may actually constitute individual people, given your willingness to suck their dicks.

          Corporate entities are not individuals and have different rights and responsibilities.

            I checked the first amendment again and nope, still doesn’t say anything about individuals. Still says “Congress shall make no law”.

            Your pal trump, who is currently abridging the ABC corporation’s right to free speech using essentially the same rationale as you, is going to lose his lawsuit.
