What If? U.S. constitution is amended, corporations are not persons, money is not speech. Now what?

Asked by dabbler (18896points) July 11th, 2012

What would be the major effects?
Would elections change overnight?
Who’s out of business ? Who’s back in business ?

How would the judgements of the Supreme Court of the U.S. be affected?
Are SCOTUS past judgements automatically reviewed in light of the new amendment ?

How long will it take to replace the people now in charge in our governments with people who would apply their energy to different goals than corporate fund-raising?

The media seem to love the status quo, though, how could a un-corporate point-of-view get coverage? The political circus makes people crave more “news”, and political ad revenue looks tasty.

Armagedon ? Nirvana ? Socialism ? Savagery ? The BBC ?
What do you think?
