Original Note:
The Citizens United majority opinion does not reference corporate personhood. It argues that First Amendment rights do not depend on the identity of the speaker, which could be a citizen or association of citizens. The decisions applies to other associations, such as unions. https://www.fec.gov/resources/legal-resources/litigation/cu_sc08_opinion.pdf
