Two Democratic state lawmakers say there鈥檚 too much untraceable money in political campaigns, so they want Ohio to do more to fight a U.S. Supreme Court decision on corporate spending on elections. 

State Sen. Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) doesn't think corporations are people and money is free speech, as in the 2010 鈥淐itizens United鈥� decision.

Antonio plans a bill that would force a court challenge to that, much like Republican lawmakers did when they passed the six-week abortion ban known as the 鈥淗eartbeat Bill鈥� to take on the 1973 ruling on abortion in 鈥淩oe v. Wade.鈥�

鈥淲e do oppose bills like the six-week ban based on the fact that it鈥檚 unconstitutional,鈥� Antonio says. 鈥淭here鈥檚 going to be a court case and all of that. I would welcome a court case that would really challenge whether corporations are people or not.鈥�

For the second time, Antonio and state Rep. Michael Skindell (D-Lakewood) have introduced resolutions to push Congress to ban so-called corporate personhood with a constitutional amendment.
