The Supreme Court based their decision on the 1st Amendment right to free speech, saying that limiting what corporations can do with their money is a violation of the right to freedom of speech. Give me a break!

"The laws of the United States hold that a legal entity (like a corporation or non-profit organization) shall be treated under the law as a person except when otherwise noted. This rule of construction is specified in 1 U.S.C. §1, which states:
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise-- the words "person" and "whoever" include corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals;"
As for money not equaling speech, then make broadcast time free.
