Thread Name: BS: Corporate Personhood vs Democracy
Subject: RE: BS: Corporate Personhood vs Democracy
By the way, my comment that "only a corrupt system can produce such an outcome" was not only referring to the idea that corporations could have personhood, but rather to the outcome that corporations could be given the status of personhood under a law that was intended to protect the personhood of human beings, while those same human beings were having their personhood denied - especially in light of the fact that juridical personhood and corporate personhood is not mentioned at all in the Constitution, and the Supreme Court never ruled on it. And it's true that such an outcome could only be produced by a corrupt system.
