corporations: people or not . . . ?

"Claiming they can’t be held liable for human rights abuses, corporations reach a new height of hypocrisy" says Joel Bleifuss:

So, as with Citizens United, the lines are drawn. On one side, a pack of lawyered-up marauders claim their rights as persons one day and deny their culpability the next. On the other side, living beings seek relief from the jackals that gorge upon the fruits of human labor and gobble up the riches of the earth.
