THE SUPER PERSONS

In 1896 there was a lawsuit appearing before the supreme court -- Santa Clara County vs. Union Pacific, a corporation. The corporation won. The result was that corporations attained the same rights as persons. They aren't citizens but they have the same rights and they're protected by the first, fourth, sixth and fourteenth amendments.

They can't be indicted as criminals. They're super persons. They can't vote but they can pay real persons for their votes. Corporations have mostly been rotten and, since being viewed as persons, they have been worse. The supreme court has mostly been rotten too. It's time for another revolution, and this time corporations will not be persons, and the supreme court appointments will be six years.

We should have no life appointments to anything.
