It's sad that we need a Constitutional Amendment to state the corp's are not people

[themaguffin]

Jesus. This is the fucking "strict constructionist" view of the Constitution that Roberts and Co. (excuse and corporation) puked to us yesterday???

Ok, fine here's the amendment in total:

Corporations are not people.

1. I don't think we need to even use the C word..

Just have it say, "People are people".

[bluethruandthru]

2. Or...

"Humans are the only beings or entities that can be considered "persons" with all the rights and liberties personhood entails".

3. SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! I heards that on my TB!!!

4. Why can't we challenge the original Interpetation of "Person"

I mean the that Supreme Court's original Interpetation of "Person" in the 14th amendment excluded "Women" as in their right to vote.

They were WRONG in that interpetation and how it applied to the 14th as well

5. We don't. Any 5 justices could do it.

Corporate person-hood is not in the constitution. It is judicial precedent.

Judicial precedent can be overturned.

There is no idealogical pick-up in sight on the SC, but a surprising retirement by Thomas or Scalia is, though unlikely, a lot likelier than a constitutional amendment.

6. getting a net gain in the court is a loooong time off.
