So what is she saying? Individuals have free speech rights but collections of individuals do not? Seems like a dangerous proposition.

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

[GeronL]

Interestingly some on the left hold the opposite view. Some think free speech is a collective and not an individual right.

[dinoparty]

Corporations are not just collections of individuals. They are separate legal entities. An individual can chhose to speak either in his own name, or in the name of an unincorporated group of people, or on behalf of a corporation. These are distinct.

Nothing can be more dangerous when the Government says the right to free speech only applies under a specific cicumstance.

[Let's Roll]

Unless the collection of individuals is a union then of course they have rights we never even imagined.

[Ben Mugged]

Individuals have free speech rights but collections of individuals do not?

No I don't think she said that. She implies that corporations as corporate entities do not enjoy the same rights as individuals or groups of individuals. I don't necessarily disagree with her.

[teeman8r]

corporations are not individuals and cannot have rights.

we can peacably assemble and petition our government as groups, but cannot claim individual rights as a collective...

flame away.
