Corporations have always been considered legal persons. That's what a corporation is. It is necessary for them to function as legal entities.

If you can prohibit corporations from spending money on speech, you can prohibit corporations from printing books, hosting websites, printing newspapers, distributing videos, and everything else.

This means that the government can censor all books, all movies, all websites, all newspapers, and all videos - or essentially all of them - as virtually all of them are produced by corporations.

This is why the ACLU sided with Citizens United.

If you are opposed to the Citizens United decision, you are opposed to freedom of speech and freedom of the press, because you are for the government being able to censor books, magazines, videos, and any number of other things.
