xerxes3642 join:2006-02-24 Saint Charles, MO	In the same vein Do they clam that passing on information to third party spammers and marketing firms is also protected speech? What about selling lists of credit card numbers? I hope the bush administration realizes the long-term implecations of their short-term fix for their own illegal activities.

MrBentor join:2003-02-18 Seattle, WA	reply to xerxes3642 Yes, by their reckoning, based on their interpretation of the First Amendment, they have the right to reveal, turn over, or sell any information they wish to; under the guise that the transfer of information is protected as speech. And yes, corporations have been granted status as a "person" under the law and granted certain Constitutional rights. One turning point was Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, 118 U.S. 394 (1886).
