The Constitution is a Living Document

[1965hawks]

In Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad (1886), the Supreme Court held, ipse dixit, that the Fourteenth Amendment applied to corporations. Since then the Court has repeatedly reaffirmed this protection.

(See reply#54, sweetwater5s9.)


In 1818, the United States Supreme Court decided Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward – 17 U.S. 518 (1819), writing: "The opinion of the Court, after mature deliberation, is that this corporate charter is a contract, the obligation of which cannot be impaired without violating the Constitution of the United States. This opinion appears to us to be equally supported by reason, and by the former decisions of this Court." Beginning with this opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court has continuously recognized corporations as having the same rights as natural persons to contract and to enforce contracts."

To have legal personality means to be capable of having legal rights and obligations^[1][2] within a certain legal system, such as entering into contracts, suing, and being sued.^[3] Legal personality is a prerequisite to legal capacity, the ability of any legal person to amend (enter into, transfer, etc.) rights and obligations. In international law, consequently, legal personality is a prerequisite for an international organization to be able to sign international treaties in its own name.

Legal persons (lat. persona iuris) are of two kinds: natural persons (also called physical persons) and juridical persons (also called juridic, juristic, artificial, or fictitious persons, lat. persona ficta) – groups of individuals, such as corporations, which are treated by law as if they are persons.^[1][4][5] While human beings acquire legal personhood when they are born, juridical persons do so when they are incorporated in accordance with law.

1965hawks you just proved Sweetwater correct!

Did you know?

[1965hawks]

Know I didn't know that, D2D. Would you mind explaining how I did it?

[sweetwater5s9]

The Supreme Court held, ipse dixit, that the Fourteenth Amendment applied to corporations. Since then the Court has repeatedly reaffirmed this protection.


The laws of the United States hold that a legal entity (like a corporation or non-profit organization) shall be treated under the law as a person except when otherwise noted.

This rule of construction is specified in 1 U.S.C. §1 (United States Code),^[16] which states:

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise--the words "person" and "whoever" include corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals.

  Scalia was right!


There is nothing in the constitution that grants special rights to certain groups of citizens. Especially perverts!

The law of nature are the laws of God, who's authority can never be superseded by no power on earth. A legislature must not obstruct our obedience to him from whose punishments they cannot protect us. All human constitutions which contradict his cannot protect us. All human constitutions which contradict his (Gods) laws, we are in conscience bound to disobey.

[1965hawks]

Scalia was right [;] [t]here is nothing in the [C]onstitution that grants special rights to certain groups of citizens[,] [e]specially perverts[.]

So you should never expect the Constitution to grant special rights to perverts like you. Huh, sine-qua-non?

[sine-qua-non]

Nice I selfie you posted there birdshitforbrains !!!

sweetwater5s9: The Supreme Court held, ipse dixit, that the Fourteenth Amendment applied to corporations. Since then the Court has repeatedly reaffirmed this protection.

To whom it may concern: Notice that sweetwater5s9 failed to name a single US Supreme Court case to which she alluded. And also notice that, apparently, sweetwater5s9 doesn't know the meaning of ispe dixit.

ipse dixit [Latin "he himself said it"] Something asserted but not proved.

Black's Law Dictionary, Eighth Edition (1999)

dictum (obiter dictum): a statement of opinion or belief considered authoritative because of the dignity of the person making it.

ibid.



ipse dixit: An unsupported assertion, usually by a person of standing; a dictum.


The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition (2011)

dictum: Law A side remark made in a judicial opinion that is not necessary for the opinion in the case and therefore is not to be regarded as establishing the law of the case or setting legal precedent. Also called obiter dictum.

ibid.

Blah blah blah. SO WHAT? YOU DIDN'T PRODUCE ANYTHING

[duke_john]

He produced sounds as he thumped his chest and shouted how superior he is.

[D2D]

You have to wonder why 1965hawks hates productive people so very much!
