I'm curious to if/how this relates to corporations having free speech rights under Citizens United vs. FEC.

Property is an asset, not a corporation (though could a corp. be an asset of a holding company?) but philosophically-speaking, "property itself as a defendant" and "corporation as a legal individual" seems connected.

Of course the same party who says that corporations should have “free speech rights” are the same ones that target corporations that speak out against their policies. It almost happened in GA with Delta Airlines and did happen in Florida with Disney.

In the case of Florida, if it isn’t struck down, it’s going to caused the cities in the surrounding area to have to pay higher taxes and take on Disney’s debts.
