The campaign finance ruling
 
#4
Legal precedent is that corporations have all the legal rights of individuals, including freedom of speech - this has come up frequently in issues related to advertising, for one example.

While the constitutional prohibitions of discrimination are explicitly limited to specific situations and criteria, the general opinion of the court has long been that the intent is to disallow consideration of any 'separate classes' of people, be it 'noble and peasant' or 'corporate and real'.
