They ought to have these freedom, but in practice they don't.  Hillary 
Clinton does not have to obey the campaign finance laws, leftists do not 
have to obey the campaign finance laws, but  Kirk Shelmerdine does have 
to obey the campaign finance laws.

And because corporations do not, in practice, have these freedoms, their 
employees and shareholders are denied these freedoms.
