BTW, let me qualify something I said with respect to corporations. While they should not themselves have First A rights, I acknowledge that some people may benefit from hearing what they have to say. But I'm not troubled by Club's worry about inveighing against taxes and such, because most corporations have individuals who can speak on their behalf. Doesn't mean they should get to pay off the legislators to get their way.

And one man's payoff is another's representative government. Seriously, do you couch it the same way when the Teachers' Unioins, ACLU or Planned Parenthood gives $ to certain candidates? Are those organizations buying off the legislatures?
