On the corporations are not people thing, if they're going to be taxed and regulated by the gov't, then they deserve every right to to voice their desire for whatever public policy they feel is best. Taxation with representation and why citizens united was a good decision by SCOTUS.

And do we really want to grant government all kind of crazy power over corporations? Since when do liberals trust government?

Should the Feds be able to conduct warrant less raids on corps? Fine them without Due Process? Deny them legal counsel? Require they house soldiers on their premises? (Okay, I threw the last one in because the 3rd amendment never gets any love.)

Suggesting otherwise seems bizarre to me. Corporations don't deserve constitutional protections?

Tell that to some liberal newspaper should some Republican in power want them shut down. 'No freedom of the press for non-persons!'

'What's that, Google- you want a warrant for us to search your servers? Tough shite, you're not a person!'
