Fascinating. I love it. Just looking through the comments here and at some of documents, I've learned a few tidbits that I never realized before.
Right below the part you referenced:
> the words "person" and "whoever" include corporations,
> companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and
> joint stock companies, as well as individuals;
So, there's a justification for the Citizens United decision right there. Congress said it was so in the definitions of Title 1, Chapter 1. Yes, I know it's more complicated than that. Still interesting, though. If Congress wants to change the CU implications, they can start by changing that definition right there.
