That's a different argument. And one profoundly flawed in its own way.

A corporate entity (that is, any entity comprised of two or more people) might have a need for legal rights, but there's no reason acceptable to me that it has to be on a notion of equivalence to "personhood", equivalent to human rights. And calling it that merely compounds both error and confusion.

Courts are not infallible. And the Santa Clara v. SPRR US origin is its own ball of bullshit.
