Does " Citizens United " shield me from a lawsuit.

If I print a list of corporations that I believe contributed to the " Scott Walker Rape Of Democracy ", can I be sued?
If they will not tell us, why shouldn't I be able to guess?

If I am sued for defamation, doesn't that prove that they know that the Koch Brothers (tm) are Evil?

Maybe I could just ask them if they did....

Just wondering if there is a way around this ridiculous Ruling.

question about the activities of certain entities, during a certain time period, you wouldn't HAVE to say that they did that stuff.

I don't know, but if the opposition started going after everyone who ever said anything about them, they wouldn't get anything else done, so if they came after you, you could always ask, "Why me? and not __________ (so many thousands of others)?"

There I typed it. They're public figures now and subject to all that entails including things like "The Koch brothers are fucking assholes from hell who like tying up hookers and doing things even porn movies wouldn't show." They can sue anyone they want. They have the money. None of us have anything they WOULD want. Fuck you Koch brothers. I'm comfortable saying that. Fuck you Rmoney. I'm comfortable saying that too. Fuck you O'Reilly, Covuto, and the rest of the FOX airheads. Fuck all of them.
