Here’s a really novel idea: stop pretending that the Bible is mainly concerned about abortion and butt stuff, and actually follow the Biblical mandate to create economic justice, .

To be fair, he was supposed to be an interdenominational chaplain but he consistently refused Paul Ryan’s requests to pray to Mammon.

So he fired a chaplain because of the wording of a prayer, which is basically firing him over religion, which is illegal. Not only that, but he then tried to blame the Democrats because they’re the Republicans scapegoat now thanks to Trump screaming about how the Democrats are halting everything and ruining the USA.…

Need someone to exorcise demons up there, unfortunately so many legions of them one man has no impact. I vote for Father Guido Sarducci to take over.

I'm actually not against this 100%. With one tiny tweak in the corporate legal system, I could be OK with this. Here it is: Any corporation that wishes to be recognized as a legal citizen shall have its corporate veil lifted. That's right. If the board of directors has the balls to face a legal firing squad based…

Wow, another Pretend Internet Lawyer that has noticed many many many errors that he just doesn't have the time to actually enumerate but you can be sure he saw them because he put "lawyer" right there in his user name and that's totally the sort of thing that an actual lawyer would do. Convincing!

Just remember that corpohumanoids can be replaced.

No, I don't think corporations are fundamentally bad institutions, but they shouldn't be equated with sentient beings — Economist Milton Friedman noted that "a corporation's social responsibility ... is to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits." But they stay need within the…

"The idea of 'corporations as persons' though, all started because of a headnote mistake in the 1886 case of Santa Clara County v. Pacific Railroad Co, 113, U.S. 394 — a mistake that has been perpetuated with profound consequences."
I think most people (i.e., the "reasonable man") would agree with this statement,…

corporations aren't inherently bad... they just aren't people.

No, I don't think corporations are fundamentally bad institutions — I just don't think that their rights and privileges should be equal or above those of 'natural persons.' Nor do I think it's necessarily a good idea to eliminate corporate personhood, for a variety of reasons.

All the rights, none of the responsibilities!

Best article I've seen here in a long time, thanks for posting it!

By the very fact of the Supreme Court rendering a decision it is a matter of Constitutional Law and I can assure you the Hobby Lobby case will in fact be discussed analyzed and remarked upon in many a constitutional law class. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act only can be a basis for deciding a case if in fact…

There are certain ways in which a corporation is clearly a person. A corporation can be party to a contract, for example. A corporation can own property. A corporation can be named in a lawsuit.

OK , fine — as long as you understand that you've just proven yourself to be at least as ignorant about science fiction as you so arrogantly accuse Dvorsky of being about law. If you regard science fiction as "an escape from [your] normal work in law," then you understand it not at all.

When we can perform a citizen's arrest against a corporation is when I'd start considering them people. If corporations are people then someone needs to arrest GM for murder.

Ok, so let me see if I've got this straight. (Simplified, of course)
I start a limited liability corporation. I can push my personal beliefs onto the company and there's no problem. However, if I screw it up, I'm not held personally liable for the finances(to an extant).

On Twitter, you can actually watch my slow descent into madness as I did the research for this.
