OK, so he was a one person corporation. Wasn't that what the ticket was for was being only one person in a car? I'm having a hard time seeing how he is making his point this way.

He was in the car AND his corporation was in the car (in the guise of his incorporation documents). Part of the ridiculousness of the Citizens United case was the notion that a business has the qualities and rights of an individual.

His case would be stronger if he had been traveling with someone else's incorporation papers. His papers are an extension of himself.

Part of the ridiculousness also is that corporations are expected to pay taxes and have no say in them.

Corporations have no say? On what planet?
