The activities of corporations should be limited, particularly where politics is concerned. That's why we have campaign finance laws in the first place. citizen's United promotes the idea that whoever has the most money should be able to buy the biggest megaphone, which is inherently anti-democratic.

Corporations are already limited by normal laws and by market forces. I'm skeptical when people claim that isn't enough.
