      <![CDATA[I don't like the idea of "corporate personhood" because it fails to acknowledge one of the main purposes for incorporating: to not be treated as a person. This ruling allows people to avoid being people when it is inconvenient and to have the rights of people when it is benificial.

      <![CDATA[@Chris I believe that people critical of corporate personhood do not want to dismantle the means of modern civilization, but rather recognize that the rights of "natural" persons extended to corporations (including first amendment rights) is wrong, especially in the context of outsized, unregulated corporate power in this country. This is the corporate personhood to which they are referring, the scenario in which corporations are guaranteed the same freedoms as natural persons, and use them to "drown out the voices of everyday Americans."

      <![CDATA[@Sydney: The resolution, then, is only reaffirming the status quo: corporations never have been entitled to the entirety of protections or rights of natural persons.<br>
<br>
As far as I can see, people are upset (perhaps rightly) about the extension of ONE particular right, and have mistakenly translated that into a hatred for the very notion of corporate personhood (without which modern civilization is quite literally impossible).

      <![CDATA[@Chris Thanks for the clarification of terms. Still, the language of the resolution does call for an amendment to provide that, "corporations are not entitled to the entirety of protections or “rights” of natural persons."

      <![CDATA[Careful: this confuses "persons" with "people" -- legally, entirely different notions. We also need to be a bit careful in saying that Citizens United gave corporate personhood "political reality".
