Who would pick the BEST Supreme Court Justices? Bernie Or Hill ?

40. Then I guess you must just love the Hobby Lobby decision if you love corporate personhood rights!

And love that they can have a religion, where they can inflict religious beliefs on their employee's health benefits if "they don't believe" in things that health insurance have in them. Republicans like that companies can have Shariah law on their employees I guess in that instance.

Whether or not it was the intent of some authors and not others or not I leave YOU to find an article that can document that this happened. But given that that wasn't widely said about the 14th amendment, whose primary purpose if not the only purpose in most people's minds and that purpose being the only PUBLIC purpose in passing that amendment was to protect PEOPLE's rights.

WHY do you think we have to give the corporatist court clerk gift's to corporation of corporate personhood rights, which was never initially given by the constitution or an amendment, not by even an initial court decision not based on a fake precedent from that head note? Why do you think we can't have legislation addressing the NAACP's needs rather than a constitutional right that overlaps with that of power hungry corporations who want to move us towards a fascist system?

The supreme court originally DID rule that the constitution didn't support corporate personhood rights when it ruled in that initial case that SUPPOSEDLY set precedent for that right. Do you feel a court clerk's head note that has language in it that doesn't reflect what was in a court decision should be interpreted as legal precedent for subsequent cases? If not, then it would seem a subsequent court if it were to rule properly would say that they couldn't make that decision unless they based it on the 14th amendment itself. Then of course, many would point out the flaw where the same paragraph is meant to support the inherent rights of former slaves and not to support some NEW "rights" for corporations.

I can't believe we're having this discussion on Democratic Underground. I always thought it was only Republicans that liked corporate personhood and had presidents that nominated justices that ruled on cases based on that "precedent". Apparently I was wrong. Another reason why Bernie needs to win to reestablish the constitutional rights of NATURAL persons in this land and not have them confused with and trampled on by corporations and their owners/controllers.
