Check my logic. Ipso Facto

The war on drugs, necessitated the supreme court decision, declaring your property has no civil rights. Thus, can be confiscated. Prior to YOUR conviction of any criminal statute. Making it's return, contingent on proving innocense, however inconvenient, or expensive that is.

This opened up Corporations to the same treatment. Their property could be confiscated, by popular decree.








Thus, the conservative faction of the scotus, deemed corporations, and all their property, persons. Maintaining the relative immunity to it's directors. Making a superperson.

This is the real evil of Citizens United.

Then, you privatize the punitive functions of Government, making confiscation of property and punitive incarceration subject to a board of directors, and stockholders, and you have fascism.
