Never mind the fact that corporations are made up of people, and that the people have rights inside or outside of the corporation.

The problem with this viewpoint is that the only one exercising rights as a corporation is the CEO. Who does not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of even a majority of those involved in the corporation. Given that they now can essentially pour unlimited amounts of money to influence the political process means that everyone else's rights are compromised. Between that and lobbyists, everyone but the plutocrats and the corporations are essentially shut out of political influence.

And that is why we are no longer a democracy. The only ones with representation is the 1%.
