And if so, does that extend to Unions as well?

U.S. Supreme Court precedent on the constitutional rights of corporations, unions and other "artificial persons" is a mess. It has been held that neither corporations nor unions have a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, but that both are protected by the Seventh Amendment's gurantee of a right to trial by jury. Cases go both ways as to other constitutional rights.

I’d be all for her decision if that was the case! This could be a good thing.

I know I might get flamed but I would support no corporate PACs or any other bundles as long as individuals can donate what they like (maybe a limit much higher than now) ONLY IF unions are also thus limited. If people want to donate do so without any strings attached when doing so as an individual. Limits may be placed but that only so shell donors the likes of Obama's and Hillary's last cycle don't easily thrive. And instant online accounting of who gave to whom, when and how much.

But certainly none of this "no ads 60 days before an election" crap. And also strict laws that don't allow the Dem media to pick and choose ads that they will air.
