Seems you weren't flamed at all and with good reason. Seems a sound reflection and I would agree. Corps don't have the right of 1st amendment (if I read it right).

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.

Doesn't say corps of course but doesn't say people either.

Good sign for Sotomayor I think.

The context of her comment was a campaign-finance case. She was arguing that corporations don't don't have first amendment rights. What she seems to be getting at is that she would limit the free speech of individuals who would represent corporations.

Good sign for Sotomayor I think.

Limiting first amendment rights is not a good thing.
