    Obviously not but wtf are they gonna do about it? They can’t reign in a senile clown. As if they’re gonna do anything California or New York gives a fuck about at this point.

      What are they going to do?

      “Corporations are people as per already established rulings.”

      “Political contributions are considered speech as per already established rulings.”

      “Hawaii is taking away poor poor corporations right to free speech under the first amendment, therefore it’s unconstitutional and will be made null and void. Have fun shoveling money at your chosen candidates corporations! Don’t forget my paycheck!”

          Not sure what the downvotes are for unless they just don’t like having a video as a response.

          I’m a bit confused on the language because he says the state the corporation was created in give them their rights, so wouldn’t any corporation not from that state be able to spend anyway?

            My thinking is that any major corporation isn’t willing to give up business in an entire state but that’s a great question and if someone has a more definitive answer I’d love to hear it.

            I believe you are correct. This is why as many states as possible need to follow suit.
