Here is a look into the letter to the UN signed by16 prominent lawyers, including Natali Segovia, Marty Garbus, Michael Tigar, Professor Charles Nesson of Harvard, Ron Kuby, Nadine Strossen:

“To this day, Mr. Donziger and his family, including his wife Laura Miller and 16-year-old son Matthew, live under the constant threat of further contempt charges that could be levied by Judge Kaplan, the conflicted presiding judge who continues to maintain he has the legal authority to appoint Chevron to prosecute Mr. Donziger directly. Mr. Donziger and his family live with the knowledge that the same forces that have worked for years to destroy them could decide to launch even further attacks to try to silence Mr. Donziger for good. To combat such an injustice and to comply with the Opinion, the United States government (through President Biden) should exercise its pardon power to void Mr. Donziger’s conviction.”

“The Supreme Court’s creation of First Amendment speech rights for commercial entities imperils public health, safety, and welfare; the reliability of commercial and consumer information; the stability of financial markets; and environmental stability. The 28th Amendment will help shift the balance of power between capital and the people and the people’s ability to legislate for the common good.”

Why Personhood Matters: Professor Tamara Piety to Truthout

Professor Tamara Piety, whom we are honored to have on our Legal Advisory Committee at Free Speech For People, tells it like it is in this must-read Truthout piece on why corporate personhood matters. Read the full piece, here.

Some excerpts below:

“Yes, corporations are made up of people, but that doesn’t tell us which of these people count for purposes of constitutional rights when, as in Hobby Lobby, the rights of the various people in the corporation are in conflict. And describing corporate speech as a public “benefit” is a stretch when the speech in question (for example, tobacco advertising) may harm the public.”

“We condemn discrimination against people because it offends human dignity. By contrast, concern for human dignity does not require us to treat all businesses alike: to the contrary, hard experience teaches us that some businesses – drugs, banks, securities, common carriers – require more regulation than others. The tax code “discriminates” between for-profit and charitable organizations without offending anyone’s dignity. Yet the Supreme Court’s new “corporate civil rights movement” obscures that fact.”

“Voters do not need to be legal sophisticates to know that something is wrong when corporations have more rights than people do.”

abstract

One of the most controversial aspect of the Supreme Court's decisions in Citizens United and Hobby Lobby is its treatment of corporate personhood. Many members of the public object to the notion that corporations should have the same rights as human beings. Yet many scholars claim that this concern is misplaced. In this article I argue that concern about corporate personhood is not misplaced because the personhood metaphor conceals the degree to which there has not been an adequate justification given for extending fundamental rights to corporations. Focusing on personhood allows us to push on the metaphor to ask whether it is appropriate to extend the analogy to antidiscrimination. I argue that it is not because treating distinctions between human beings and corporations or between different types of corporations, as if it entailed invidious discrimination casts a constitutional shadow on a great deal of law previously thought well settled

description

Over the past two decades, corporations and other commercial entities have used strategic litigation to win more expansive First Amendment protections for commercial speech—from the regulation of advertising to the role corporate interests play in the political process, most recently debated in the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Tamara R. Piety, a nationally known critic of commercial and corporate speech, argues that such an expansion of First Amendment speech rights imperils public health, safety, and welfare; the reliability of commercial and consumer information; the stability of financial markets; and the global environment.

Prof. Piety appeared on TU Public Radio's Studio Tulsa recently to discuss her book.
