If corporations are deemed to be persons under the law then we can certainly pass a law mandating the death penalty for serious corporate felonies.
The corporate death penalty would mean the liquidation of all of the felonious corporation’s assets with the proceeds distributed to the people.
have a peaceful day,

Peace be with you Bill
I was thinking the same thing when I read the decision. It seems wierd that a corp can blaim its workers or ceo, yet real persons can’t. “It wasn’t my fault I was selling fifty pounds of pot, it was my ceo.” Immortal blameless personhoods who are worth billions, what better example of democratic malfeasance is there?
People were jailed for years after 911 for “supporting” terrorism. But stock holders can support anything.
“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. . .
The Growing Concentration of Economic Power. Statistics of the Bureau of Internal Revenue reveal the following amazing figures for 1935: “Ownership of corporate assets: Of all corporations reporting from every part of the Nation, one-tenth of 1 percent of them owned 52 percent of the assets of all of them.” Franklin D. Roosevelt, April 29, 1938
