      Perhaps, but you’re going up against the classics. Dred Scott. Plessy v. Ferguson. Korematsu.

        Also, Citizens United was only the latest in a long series of bad decisions that gradually elevated sociopathic artificial entities over natural persons.

        • Dartmouth College v Woodward
        • Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad
        • Dodge v Ford Motor Co.

        etc.
