But corporations are just people who call themselves corporations. You can't invalidate your rights by calling yourself a special name

Not invalidating the person’s rights. But corporations don’t have the same rights.

Example:

Corporation refuses to hire black people and blasts racist remarks across their web site. Illegal. Fines. Shut it down.

The CEO of that company refuses to shop at a black-owned store and blasts racist remarks across a personal blog web site that has nothing to do with his corp. Asshole. Might get his ass beat. Might make people not want to buy his company’s products. But not illegal.

Brilliant. I thought you were going to give me an example of some other right, but you had a great free speech example.

I still don't see an economic reason to overturn citizens united - like, if the legalisms about personhood don't add up, I'd still say courts and their gunmen aren't an effective mechanism for dealing with that kind of bribery.
