MSI,

The most amazing part of the 1886 decision was that it never concluded that corporations were persons. That was only an errant opinion expressed in a headnote which should have carried no weight at all!

From Hartmann's article:

But just as computerized voting machines can be reprogrammed, so too, apparently, could a U.S. Supreme Court decision. The Court's reporter - a former railroad president - took it upon himself to grant corporations personhood in the commentary (headnote) he wrote on the case, even though it explicitly contradicted the Justices' ruling itself. (And to this day other forms of association, like unions, unincorporated small businesses, and even governments do not have personhood rights.)

So the entire existence of corporate dominance over our lives is based on a deliberate misunderstanding.
