239. so, your argument is that only natural persons have First Amendment rights
and that any decision that upholds the First Amendment rights of an entity other than a natural person is traceable to Santa Clara and thus impeachable.

Or, in other words, you don't think the companies that publish newspapers (which aren't natural persons) don't have any First Amendment rights. In other words, when the government sought to enjoin the New York Times Company and the Washington Post Company from publishing the Pentagon Papers, you believe that the entire Supreme Court (including Justice Douglas) should have been impeached for concluding that enjoining those corporations from publishing the Pentagon Papers violated the First Amendment rights of those companies.
