Notice that labor unions aren't explicitly excluded from the definition of "person" in Section 2 of the proposed Amendment. So corporations can be deprived of rights that unions maintain. Only the Left would characterize this inequality as "fairness."

Incidentally, Chuckie Schumer recently called Citizens United the worst SCOTUS decision since Plessy v. Ferguson. Since Plessy was decided in the 1890s, that's really covering a lot of ground. Does Schumer really think, for instance, that the SCOTUS allowing corporate entities to make public comments about political candidates running for office is worse than the SCOTUS upholding President Roosevelt's power to send innocent Japanese Americans to detention camps during WWII (Korematsu case, 1944)? And would Schumer be forced to change that statement when and if the SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare?
