1. he does make one good point about multi national citizenship

Corporations can have multiple citizenships but US Citizens are prohibited from multiple citizenship. So, it would appear that corporations have MORE rights than citizens. It stikes me this should be remedied either by giving citizens the right to have multiple citizenships or revoking the right for corps to have multiple citizenships...... IMHO.

2. So you think the other points were weak?

Immortality, lack of an emotional life, insensitivity to environmental conditions, those are all minor quibbles?

4. no. they were just more obvious. this one may actually have some legal teeth. n/t

5. Fair enough.

But the situation is still ridiculous, like having to carefully assemble evidence to prove that stones are not wheat.

3. Do we really need a constitutional amendment to say corporations are not people?

How stupid can a country get? How stupid can Supreme Court Justices be? This was a stupider decision than "separate but equal."
