Corporations aren’t people, but from a legal perspective, they have some rights in common with persons, which is why you often hear statements saying they are.

The law is wrong.

I never said otherwise.

Okay, but it's pretty tiresome to hear the supreme court opinion of corporate personhood brought up constantly as if it has any validity whatsoever.

I can sympathize with that. Unfortunately, the opinion of the supreme court is a force to be reckoned with, whether we agree or not.
