Demonstrators are planning to “occupy” courthouses in cities across the country on today, including the U.S. Supreme Court, to protest the two-year anniversary of the controversial Citizens United ruling that makes corporations “people”.
Why the courts? Because that’s the scene of the crime.
Corporations are not people, are not human, they are less than… Corporations are artificial creatures of law. As such, they should enjoy only those powers—not constitutional rights, but legislatively-conferred powers—that are concomitant with their legitimate function, that being limited liability investment vehicles for business. Corporations are not persons. Human beings are persons, and it is an affront to the inviolable dignity of our species that courts have created a legal fiction which forces people—human beings—to share fundamental natural rights with soulless creations of government. Worse still, while corporations and human beings share many of the same rights under the law, they clearly are not bound equally to the same codes of good conduct, decency, and morality, and they are not held equally accountable for their sins. Indeed, it is truly ironic that the death penalty and hell are reserved only to natural persons.“
~ Montana State Supreme Court Justice James Nelson
