Congress needs to put up an bill or an amendment REVOKING corporate personhood PERMANENTLY

[Hawkeye-X]

The case file for corporate personhood is OUT OF DATE and does not apply to today's corporations.

Also, there should be indictments ALL over the place against corporate who is influencing/peddling the congresspeople/Senators - including the Senators/Congresspeople themselves - for RICO violations.

It's time to act before the Supreme Court decides the case on the CFR - so that if it goes against the established law, then it's time to take away all the corporation powers.

3. I agree but the court might just rule it as unconstitutional

Though I cannot see a corporation as a person..

Just try to imply the second amendment to them.....

5. In what ways?

How are the existing laws about corporate personhood out of date? I'm not playing devil's advocate; I'm just genuinely curious about what you base your case on.

6. I'd say the expected SCOTUS votes on the upcoming case are a good indicator

bush appointed three of these guys.

7. They're ridiculously partisan, true

That being said, I was hoping with my earlier question to get to the "meat" of the issue. Put another way, I'd like to hear some specifics on the corporate personhood laws that make them out of date now. I'd also be interested in hearing what changes the interested DUers would like to see in these laws.

10. Yes, it is sort of an arcane point.

There are probably books on the subject. I should probably read some of them.

4. Big K&R! n/t

8. Agreed, one point though. There never was a ruling declaring corporate "personhood".

It was derived from a completely irrelevant headnote put into the ruling by the clerk.

We have been subjected to a century of theft by an agent provocateur of the banking industry.

9. I like it, but don't say corporate personhood is being "revoked".

It never existed. On the likely chance that such a bill would fail, we'd be admitting that corporations are currently people.

11. Wasn't it a desire to sue/overlord corporations that led to corporate personhood in the first place?
