It was monied Democrats who formed the Ku Klux Klan, it was monied democrats in the South that instituted segregation after the Civil War. It was Democrat Congressmen in the South who almost sank the Civil Rights Bill of 1964, until LBJ received the support he needed from Republicans. As to the primary point, what jack2894 is arguing is that organizations are not people, so unions are not people, churches are not people, sports teams are not people, schools are not people, no entity consisting of more than 1 human being is a 'person'.
Does Comedy Central have a right to free speech?

This is no joke.
The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
