CITIZENS UNTIED

So the Supremes' tune is that Corporations have the same Constitutional rights as humans do, ergo they can spend all they want in trying to get someone elected. Well, the right to free speech seems like a flawed argument to me. Humans are mortal; corporations are immortal by design, intended to last in perpetuity. My political power, my ability to influence elections is finite, at best.

If the intent was to grant corporations equal power to the individual, they actually granted super powers to the corporations with stupidity being the only kryptonite and even then, if corporations pump enough $$$ to the lawmakers, they get the public to cover for corporate stupidity. A corporation can live on and on and .... AND have a virtually unlimited advantage over citizens. Then please explain to me why the rationale for Citizens United is legally valid!
