So let me get this straight

According to the Supreme Court a corporation has freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment, but an actual human being doesn't?

WASHINGTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - The Supreme Court rejected on Monday a free-speech challenge to the longtime ban on campaign contributions by foreign citizens who temporarily live and work in the United States.

The justices affirmed a ruling by a three-judge federal panel that upheld the ban adopted by Congress to keep foreigners from financially influencing U.S. elections.


Thanks for explaining that.
