    Treating corporations as people has warped US politics and harmed the climate. We need to overturn Citizens United.

    Does she not understand which court case is which? Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. in 1886 was the case that established corporate personhood in the United States.

    If you do not understand the history of corporate personhood, you cannot hope to attempt to overturn it. Corporations wield more power than ever, and they will spend billions of dollars to ensure it stays as court precedent.
