The actual decision said that that the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment applied to corporations. It was the reporter that said it made them persons.
Does that mean that all of the foolishness leading up to Citizens United was due to a reporting error? I would welcome a comment by a real Constitutional lawyer.
EDIT: I also dislike the idea of the unintended consequences of such an amendment. Better to right the error of the Supremes by other methods.
