corporations have no such rights. the people who are part of them do, but as individual persons. the corp itself is just a conglomerate of financial and private interests, and should not be allowed to throw its financial weight around.
Well it does depend on which system of law to which this applies.

Not being a legal person, but I understand that a corporation under US law can ask to be treated as a 'legal person' with certain rights.

Indeed, and the main use of sickles is to provide the food the blacksmiths need to do the forging.

In a tweet Trump said: “Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting. Never even called us for comment. Fox News is gone!”

Of course his supporters are saying it's all lies. It's like they think none of us have experience with guys like Trump and how attempts to expose them play out.

Of course your Donnie'd never do that dear, bless your heart, the cruelty of these evil naysayers is bottomless. :tea:

Even if it is lies, it fits well enough with other stuff he's said to beat on him with.

I'd love to see someone come out on the record though.
