Corporations are owned by people. Under our constitution ‘WE, the People’ have rights. Citizens United gives certain people more rights than others in a duality. Corporations are NOT“people too”.
There’s something about “corporations” being “people” that I’ve never understood. Don’t corporations buy and sell one another all the time? And isn’t chattel slavery illegal in the USA? Oh, I get it; these corporations are “people” in the Cayman Islands.

I wish Scalia lived to be 100. I also wish he had never been on the supreme court. And I wish, if I only get one wish, that it be the second one.

As the bumper sticker says, “I’ll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.”

And when you apply DSM-V medical analysis to a corporation-as-a-person, you get: SOCIOPATH!!

Corporations as people comes to us from old English law. Blackstone wrote about it in the 17th century.
