re: Are corporations people?

I've talked about this ad nauseum here and I'm on a phone so I won't rehash it, but SCOTUS made a mistake with Hobby Lobby and the answer that didn't lead to absurd consequences lies in business entities 101.

That comment right there tells me this conversation is above your pay grade. Come back when you have something substantive to offer...

Like a contemporary writing showing the Framers saw juridical entities as simply alter egos of their individual owners. Or literally anything showing they contemplated the interplay between juridical entities and their constituent individual owners. That's assuming you're a true patriot and an originalist, right?

If a Muslim corporation didn't want to employ women or Christians, I'd have no problem with that.

Or homosexuals.

Your scenario would give corporations MORE religious rights than people and is absurd.

You've already got a legal fiction practicing religion so how much further can we go?

How bout the religion that smokes peyote? Can my corporation identify as that religion and traffic a Schedule 1 drug?

That's objectively wrong. It absolutely is something protected for individuals under religious freedom.

But do you see how absurd this is and where the slippery slope leads? Do you really want the government deciding what is a legitimate religion and what exceptions should therefore be allowed?

Or the Supreme Court should have given us a treatise on the history and reasons why we create juridical fictions and treat them differently than their individual constituent owners under the law.

Even the majority in Hobby Lobby sought to limit their ruling to that specific case. Tell me how that comports to precedent and the concept of originalism.

I don't care what buckeye said. It's bad long-term policy.

I said that I didn't care of a school provided a room for a Muslims to pray, so long as it was available to anyone.

And it was in the thread about Texas suing for a bible quote. So if they want religion, they can have it.

In the end, I see it as all or nothing. Either everybody can have an accommodation, to privately pray (no more or less) on their own accord, or nobody can have it.

Corporations are people.

Almost no corporation is a person.
