You're attributing these beliefs to those "pesky right wingers"?
Do me a favor:
1) Read this: First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2) Go here: FindLaw | Cases and Codes
3) Look at the names of the Justices in the majority:
Yea, only right wingers like Justice Stevens or the author of Roe v. Wade could possibly agree that corporations enjoy some constitutional rights.
And those pesky right wing supreme court judges, apparently don't care what the framers thought about the concept. I thought they were the "originalists"???? The framers ,clearly, did not consider corporations "persons". Ah, given a little prod and they all turn out to be activist partisans.
