On the GOP, Corporations, and the Constitution

One of the greatest “accomplishments” of the right over the past several decades has been to establish the existence of a variety of First Amendment rights for corporations through legal action. The Hobby Lobby case (won by Josh Hawley) went so far as to say that corporations with no legal connections to any church can have rights pertaining to religion, even though I have yet to see a corporation take communion.

It is, therefore, ironic to see GOP leaders screaming about giant tech corporations exercising their First Amendment rights to cut off right-wing extremists peddling lies and sedition. The moral here is to be careful what you ask for, because you might well get it.
