What questions are raised by the knowledge that corporations are people?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) December 9th, 2013

For instance, do they have the right to bear arms? When two corporations whose directors and top executives are all males (or females for that matter) merge, is that same-sex marriage? Should such mergers be prohibited in the 33 states that ban such marriages? How about states that ban same-sex couples from adoption. Does that preclude a corporation from buying a smaller company unless there is an even balance of males and females in management? How even does the balance have to be? When corporate boards slowly transition from all male to all female or vice-versa, are they transsexual corporations?

What other absurdities can you think of that arise thanks to the 5 cons who GOPers put on the Supreme Court?
