76. corporations are not individuals,the bill of rights does not apply to them
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 02:31 PM by flaminbats
if employers can decline to hire anyone who has once broke the law..what stops them from denying jobs to all people who are black, Muslim, or just politically active in the wrong union?

You or I can sell land to whoever we wish..or don't wish, at our own risk. But a corporation is only a public entity..bound by the law, not a person protected by constitutional rights. They exist to serve the public good, not to restrict the rights of citizens.

Regarding the safety of your children, laws exist to protect their rights..not to trash the rights of others. If someone breaks a law, they should pay the penalty. Those who pay the penalty should not be punished multiple times for a single crime, nor should they be judged as non-citizens under the law.
