Can we (Left and Right) all agree here??

The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to corporations.

The Supreme Court will rule on this to make it clear, if there are any more protests.

Do they constantly have to spell it out for you?

They are "productive" members of so-sigh-ity.

Republicans have stretched their brains to accept this, and have endowed them as gods, because they are bigger than the individual Republicans making them up.

Wrong, corporations are not citizens.
Understanding why corporations are not citizens or people, but persons, is easier with some grasp of law and history, but really, all it requires is knowledge of English and logic.

Corporations are persons.

What this means is that they’re recognized by the law as entities that can have a name, sue in court, be a party to contracts and have property.

Different types of persons have different types of rights, but these types of persons have only the rights that allow them to exist. Not the kind of “human rights” that fleshlings enjoy. (These non-people persons are referred to as “moral persons,” an even more misleading term, as opposed to “physical persons.”)

The fact that corporations can be owned, bought, and sold, proves that they are not citizens, because any of those acts would constitute slavery for people or for a citizen.

A corporation cannot pledge its allegiance to a country, it cannot be drafted, it cannot serve on a jury, it has no conscience no morals, no intelligence, and it has no right to free speech, the people who make up the corporation have those rights and are able to exercise them on a individual basis. Not as a collective.

This argument is so elemental that it can even be understood by the populous that will see to it that the erroneous ruling recently made is overturned
