There's a serious problem with "corporations as people" and the abuse of the 1st and 14th amendments.

That's especially true when corporation amplify disinformation and lies for profits, then use the power of money to drown out the voices of real humans under the first amendment and speech.

Then those same corporations claim equal protection under the law when even the smallest corporation is always far more equal than the average person and real voting citizen.

That's why corporations can sponsor insurrections and spread deadly COVID19 lies and propaganda with relative impunity and almost no accountability.

The question is why should that be allowed, let alone tolerated?

A rewrite may not be in order for those amendments, but a deep philosophical conversation needs to be had about how they should be recalibrated and reinterpreted for the benefit of the real people - humans.
