		<description>As I understand it, the Supreme Court&#039;s majority opinion in Citizens United is that the right to assemble (i.e. incorporate) and the right to freedom of speech are not mutually exclusive.  

Since none of the Montana Court&#039;s points attack the foundation of that opinion, I fail to see these arguments &quot;opening a door&quot; for Citizen&#039;s United being &quot;put to rest.&quot;

Justice Nelson&#039;s contortions within the narrow confines of three bullet points, by which he deems elections meaningless (when corporate), and worth trampling the Bill of Rights over (when for dog catcher), are worthy of an Olympian.   

Further, because the rights in question are not positive, but negative in nature (to wit, they are constraints on Congress, not grants to humans, citizens, corporations, or what have you), the &quot;corporations are/are not people&quot; debates and phrasings are silly.</description>
