A separate peril to free speech unfolded on Capitol Hill in recent months. Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, backed by dozens of Democratic colleagues, introduced the People’s Rights Amendment, which would limit constitutional protections to “natural persons” and exclude “corporations, limited-liability companies or other corporate entities.” Speech emanating from such organizations would be “subject to such regulation” as Congress considered “reasonable.”

The "People's Rights Amendment"? And this isn't satire? Well, I suppose it was inevitable that the same legalistic tactics that have been used over the years to chip away at the Second Amendment finally would be turned against the First. Anyone who thinks Congress's idea of "reasonable" and that of anyone sane are remotely alike is smoking crack.

One notes that this, as everything like it ever proposed, is aimed specifically at one type of collective - corporations, LLCs, etc - but not a far more pervasive and partisan collective, that of the labor unions. FR's policies on violence postings restrain me from being overly specific about what I'd like to see happen to McGovern and his neofascist supporters, but the materials list includes tar, feathers, and a wooden rail which they could ride to somewhere friendlier to their politics - North Korea, perhaps.

If people don't speak for corporations, who does? Some new type of robot I'm not aware of? Like this?
