Interesting. Did the SC (in an 1888 case) not say: "Under the designation of 'person' there is no doubt that a private corporation is included [in the Fourteenth Amendment]. Such corporations are merely associations of individuals united for a special purpose and permitted to do business under a particular name and have a succession of members without dissolution." And does 1 USC not also say: "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;" as well? I'm not sure how to align those statements with your comment. Perhaps it's a subject that only someone with a law degree can discern the meaningful difference between the claims?
