Re: It's now We The Corporations

IANAL, but IIRC, the "corporations are humans for the purpose of benefits normally reserved for flesh and blood, but cannot be jailed or executed" stance is a pile of interpretations tracing back to a "note" added by a clerk to a 19th-century decision. It survives because it serves its masters well.
