People Are Corporations - An Open Letter To Citizens United Haters

<p>Today On Categorical Imperatives we will be discussing the Supreme Court case every leftist loves to hate: Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (2010)&nbsp;</p> <p>In my last video I briefed &nbsp;3 landmark Supreme Court cases dealing with issues of money and speech, including Citizens United. Today I want to go further in exploring this case and it's legacy.</p> <p>My previous video was part of my “Today in Supreme Court History” Series which means what you got was a purely objective and scholarly explanation of those cases in their background, the facts of the case, the primary holding and the precedent they set.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today’s video is meant to be an open letter of sorts to people who think citizens united is a case that ruled corporations are people and money is speech.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Mentions links and articles:&nbsp;</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/EdWApA0q93U" target="_blank">Does Money Equal Speech?
