Wait...you think there is a problem with courts treating corporations as persons?
Tom Send a noteboard - 20/11/2011 08:33:43 PM
That concept has been around since the inception of the corporation and is vital to its ability to sue and be sued in court. If it weren't a "person" it wouldn't have standing, couldn't defend its rights. It also couldn't be taxed, by the way. The concept of "legal person" includes corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts, estates, joint ventures and political entities.
Anyone who is arguing against that is a complete moron with no understanding of anything and shouldn't really be giving advice to other people, unless it's how to look stupid.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
