Exactly.

I sure wouldn't assume that the precious rights accorded to citizens in the constitution apply to non-humans. If I were to do that, I'd apply it to pets before applying it to the corporation, an entity unknown at the time the constitution was written. And, if I did, I'd feel obliged to buy and wear a "judicial activist" t-shirt.
