Corporatation for Congress

I would love Murray Hill’s idea more if it were a serious attempted to challenge the recent Supreme Court ruling about freedom of speech for corporations.

I would love this idea more if it weren’t presented as a joke and seriously attempted to challenge the recent Supreme Court ruling about freedom of speech for corporations.


Murray Hill Incorporated is Running for Congress

It’s a ridiculous premise for Murray Hill, Inc. to run for elected office, but it would be nice to hear a court put into record that corporations aren’t people. They’d have to rethink their position on how involved corporations can become financially in political campaigns. I doubt we’re going to see that kind of quality outcome from a publicity stunt.

Thanks to @aschweig for the tip.
