Dear Emptyheaded Left Wing Writers
Please stop saying that a corporation is a "fictitious person" as part of your case in chief against the Hobby Lobby decision.
For one thing, you sound stupid. Not because this is untrue, but rather because it is obviously true, and 90% of all literate people not only know "corporations are fictitious people" but in fact have known this since long before you apparently did. You sound like 8 year olds who just learned a FunFact (TM) about koalas and can't stop repeating it. Didja know that koala bears are not in fact bears but odd creatures called "marsupials"?!!? Didja? Didja?!!? Yes, we all knew that. In second grade. But Welcome to the World, I guess. It's a big place. You'll want to take notes about it until you get your bearings. Secondly, and here I fear I will lose you completely because this is going to get slightly abstract and logical, the fact that "corporations are fictitious persons" actually destroys your arguments, rather than strengthens them, which, if you'd bother to have read the Hobby Lobby case, which you have not and will not, ever, you'd already know. See, a corporation is a fictitious person. It is a made-up designation, created by state law, to permit business concerns to live longer than the lifespan of a natural person. It is a fictitious person. It is not a real person. Fictitious -- an imaginary construct of the law. Think about what that means. This means that in a closely-held corporation -- where five or fewer people control the majority of shares (and in fact usually control all of it) -- the "corporation" does not exist in any real way, except for its listing in the tax records of a state. In a small closely-held corporation, "the corporation" only means "these five guys right here." The Supreme Court did not acknowledge that corporations qua corporations (look up "qua" on your own time, idiots) have "religious freedoms." Rather, it recognized the obvious -- that in the case of a closely-held corporation, the corporation being a fictitious entity and all, an imposition of a duty on "the corporation" is in reality just an imposition of a duty on the five or fewer people (often one or two) who own it. Thus, when we say the Hobby Lobby corporation must provide abortifacient drugs to its employees, this is precisely the same as laying this responsibility on the five or fewer individual persons (who definitely have the right to religious freedom) to provide abortifacient drugs to their employees. Given that the corporation is a fictitious entity of no tangible presence (something you seem so delighted to have recently learned), forcing the corporation to provide abortions is precisely the same as forcing the family who owns Hobby Lobby to provide them. You see? You see what your problem is here? I mean, one of your problems. You have many, beginning with the facts that 1 you are not terribly well educated and 2 you seem to believe you are extremely well educated. Now, in a very large corporation, what we call a "publicly traded" corporation, wherein many thousands (or even millions) of persons might have shares and thus ownership interests in this fictitious person, one could very easily make the case that each individual shareholder is so attenuated from actual control of the corporation that to impose a duty on the corporation does not implicate the individual shareholder at all, or implicates him so slightly, so trivially, that we can round down and simply say "Forcing Exxon to provide abortion drugs should not offend the conscience of Exxon's thousands of owners." We could say in that case that an imposition on the corporation has no real implication for the individual owner. He would own, what, one thousand shares out of over ten million shares of the decision to provide abortion services? A very diffuse responsibility indeed. But you cannot make this claim when a family of four owns almost all of the stock in a corporation. In that case, the burdens placed on this fictitious entity are actually burdens on the people -- Unless you idiots want to make the case that this fictitious entity that has so mesmerized you actually has the tangible quality of being a real person whose actions do not implicate its real-person owners. But then in that case you shouldn't keep saying it's a fictitious person-- you should be arguing it's close enough to a real person to be treated as such. You should be arguing that a corporation is so close to real that we should say a burden on it means nothing at all to its owners-- who are just third-parties with barely anything at all to do with the real person being burdened. The real person being burdened (in this argument) is the corporation, which is basically a totes real person, and no other people are burdened at all. The Supreme Court agrees with your actual statements about corporations being fictitious persons. In fact, they agree with it so much they based their decision on it. They're saying "A corporation, being a fictitious construct with no real existence in the context of a closely-held corporation, is too slight and gossamer a thing to put any weight upon as far as distinguishing burdens placed on it and burdens placed on its owners." By the way, idiots, partnerships (also small collections of people) have always had these rights to religious freedom, as they are obviously Just People and do not surrender their humanity by choosing to form a business partnership with another. All the court did was say that a closely-held corporation is sufficiently similar to a partnership for the same rule to attach. "Attach" means "apply" in this contest, dummies. I don't mean they glued the rule to them. I know you'll all thank me for clearing up your latest stupidity so allow me to say, in salutation, You're Welcome, Imbeciles, Your Buddy, Ace PS-- "SCOTUSblog" is not the Supreme Court's personal web-log. It's just some guys who follow the court. Please update your records, dum-dums. PPS -- I don't know if "SCOTUSblog" is an incorporated fictitious person. You should get right on that yourselves, though. I'm sure that fact holds the key to this whole mystery.Comments

1) The notion of ownership. That a line worker cannot dictate policy to the owners of a company rankles them. That it's a corporation, not a collective.
2) That religious rights were upheld. They despise seeing religion practiced publicly. And that, in combination with #1 above, might result in beliefs being enacted that do not blend with their own.
and
3) They hate the idea that anything trumps the power of the government diktat. ESPECIALLY RELIGION.
Their argument comes down to one thing. That incorporation should take away your individual rights, and force you to comply with some secular standard that they enact and enforce.

I think that the few liberals who have backgrounds in law and business do understand that corporations are legally people in most ways. But they're willing to gloss over any distinctions in order to get a bumpersticker message out.
The rest just know that corporations are bad. So accepting that they may have the same rights as individuals is like accepting that orcs have souls and the legal right to marry your daughter.
And no they don't consider Planned Parenthood or the ACLU to be corporations either. Because profit is baaad!

yes.
The "five or less shareholders" argument handed down by the courts is arbitrary and without foundation.
We're knee-deep in the weeds when we get in this issue, however, the one trump card is this:
The business decides. Not the government.
The government has 0 authority. By design.

the SCOTUS Citizens United ruling treated corporations as people with
regards to campaign contributions?
Well, then. Looky looky what I found.
A precedent from a SCOTUS case won by a Big Evil Corporation way back
in 1957. They too ruled that corporations have a constitutional right to
make campaign contributions, just as individuals do.
The Big Evil Corporation in question? United Auto Workers.

No other person probably in history has managed to leverage the power of the witty sound bite as well as Obama has.
When he had masses of sycophants, they would pick up the sound bites and echo them everywhere like a Gregorian chant.
Now they're falling dead almost immediately.

Should the partners still be forced to violate their religious beliefs?
What if it was a limited partnership, with a 1% general partner and 99% control by the limited partners?
What if it was a limited liability company (LLC)?
Why is it that choosing the corporate form--over all other forms--means the owners have forfeited all their Constitutional rights?
Then, if they mumble around that one, I'd like to know: "Do corporations have 4th Amendment rights? If so, why should they be entitled to 4th Amendment rights but not 1st Amendment rights?"
Posted by: RoyalOil at July 02, 2014 06:51 PM (VjL9S)
I haven't followed it, but is Hobby Lobby a Sub-chapter C or S corporation? Not that it makes a great difference legally, but Sub-S never have a large number of owners and are really just pass through entities. There are also LLC's who are taxed as Sub-S which I don't think applies here from what I can make out through all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The Left doesn't actually care about the corporate form. Listen carefully to their arguments. They aren't making nuanced
arguments about corporate form. They're saying that there shouldn't be
religious exemptions for any employer. That's the argument: that an employer who doesn't give out free birth control is "denying" a fundamental right. So it doesn't matter who's doing it and how that company is organized. They don't think it's okay for sole proprietors to object on religious grounds.
The Left brings up the "corporations" objection, though, because it sounds good. At first blush it seems kind of odd that a legal fiction created to limit liability can have religious views, or can have speech rights under the First Amendment. Those objections play well to the uninformed: how can Wal-Mart have religious beliefs?
But again, that's just a distraction from the real issue: the Left wants to force all employers to pay for contraception.

And truthfully, corporations such as WalMart, Target, etc. have fed this beast for years now.
Remember when these types of stores used to be closed on Sunday? Closed on holidays, particularly Christmas, and Easter? I remember when Jewish owned stores were closed on Saturday. Remember when one was given a "Have a Merry Christmas" when checking out.
I can remember when you couldn't buy gasoline on Sundays, the Dairy Queen was closed, etc.
By acquiescing to the left's PC crap, and staying open on Sunday's etc. these business's have helped to diminish the importance of religious observations and family holidays in the minds of current generations. So it follows that additional secular demands on them seems normal to many.

How can you then make differentiation between who gets speech freedom, and who gets religious freedom.... in the same damn sentence... and make it different?
Publically held companies have Free Speech according to Citizens United... as they say Money is Speech.
But then in Hobby Lobby, the Supremes say the Government can Force them to spend money (which is speech according to Citizens) on something they don't wish to spend on... but only if they are publically held...
And if we are going to differentiate between the two classes of business... should we not then Limit PUBLICALLY held companies Political Speech? As the ones who control the power of speech (money) is not the owners, but the President of the Company, and CEO? So shareholders then give those Company Officers their Speech rights? (as speech is money, and those officers can spend money on politics if they wish?).
But what this really proves... is that Rights, as far as the Supreme Court is concerned, are NOT from God or Nature, but can be bestowed by the Court.... and taken away by it...

True, we are seeing that now. The state is requiring certain transactions. But that doesn't alter the fact that in the past, the state prohibited a lot of transaction, particularly on Sundays.

No my argument is that when "blue laws" were lifted fifty years ago in many locales, the stores still had a choice to open or not open.
Target, and others had a choice about whether to open Thanksgiving afternoon this past November.
No one is forcing them to open. Those choices they have made from a marketing and sales decision, and some have suffered poor PR from it. Yet they continue to open.....
The acquiescing to PC is stores choosing to not display the words Merry Christmas, not permitting their employees to wish one a Happy Easter or Christmas, refusing to allow the Salvation Army to have Christmas kettles in front of the store, etc. In addition to remaining open on traditional holidays.
All these things have reinforced the notion of PC and not wanting to "offend" the small minority of people who could possibly be offended at such displays of religious acknowledgment, which strips it away from the general culture.

Liberals know that "corporations" are just "groups of people forced by law to incorporate so we can take a cut of their profits" and that by doing so, we can't strip them of their God-given rights.
They know this. They're not fucking stupid.
They don't care.
Lies don't matter to them. They're not constrained by this "morality" you speak of. They want power, and they know how to get power, and they'll do whatever is necessary to both get power and to maintain that power over you.
Once you realize that they're just evil, it becomes much easier to entertain the thoughts of what necessarily must flow from that knowledge.

If the profits of a corporation are owed by the share holders who are real people, unless those shares are owned by another fictitious person, the profits should only be taxed once when paid to the shareholders, not taxes levied on the fictitious person, and then taxed a second time when paid to the real people who own the shares.
Of course, this whole make believe thing is for the convenience of the government who just wants it's fair share of the profits.

Okay Jen, I understand your argument a bit better now. When the CEO of Mozilla can be forced out for donating to Prop 8 several years ago, of course this whole PC thing has gone waaaay too far.
But the board of directors of a publicly held corp. are responsible for keeping the company profitable; if not, they can be fired by the shareholders. I imagine that at Hobby Lobby, they still greet customers with a Merry Christmas around that time of the year. I don't know that for sure, since I've never set foot in one.

And while the topic doesn't directly relate to anything gun related, his push starts out with terms that 2nd Amendment supporters would be familiar with - talk of arming oneself, etc...
Hopefully this means that he's come around on the 2nd Amendment, and moved away from his earlier anti-gun comments.

They truly believe that the state can require that you suspend your 1st Amendment rights just because you are engaged in an act of commerce, because you choose to work or offer a commercial service.
In the New Mexico Supreme Court which ruled against the wedding photographer, the concurring opinion pretty much said that suspending your 1st Amendment rights was the price you have to pay to live in a "civilized" society (civilized according to the justice, of course).

These people belong to a group that simultaneously believe that higher specific taxes on gasoline will reduce gasoline consumption but higher general taxes do not reduce economic activity.
Also that George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama would make good Presidents.

Before my naturalization process started, I had to prove I didn't have any communicable diseases. I had to get examed by a doctor from the INS' approved list of doctors ONLY. There were only three, one retired, one passed away, and the last one was about to retire too. I got lucky. The doc said he's let the INS know many times that he's the only one left but they never got back to him.
If you are diseased, you cannot come in. That's in the goddamn paperwork.
Oh, and ladies....I am disease free!

As our 'betters' in Washington, Silicon Valley, and New York, shove immigrants down our throats.
When almost all of the jobs created in the last few years, went to immigrants.
When 41% of Teck Startups are by immigrants... because Natives can't get funding (if I was a Woman, Immigrant, or Minority, my teck startup would still exist...)...
I expect to see a Nativist movement soon in the US.... think UKIP on steroids...
Because in America... when we finally lose our temper.... we REALLY lose it.
