Tom Steyer Wants To Nullify The Bill Of Rights
I think that's hyperbole.
I think at best it could be said "Tom Steyer wants to nullify the bill of rights applying to corporations."
Tom Steyer wants to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow the government to regulate religious sermons, tap the phones of the American Civil Liberties Union, seize phone record and Internet search histories on a whim, and give bureaucrats veto power over the content of The New York Time
This is kind of a distortion.
It would be more appropriate to say "...allow the government to not treat businesses as individuals with individual citizen rights."
All the things stated here, "regulate" churhces, tap the ACLU, seize records and internet searches, veto power over the NYT, can all be avoided by individuals in corporations taking on more liability.
CEO's and shareholders being individually liable for what the company does.
As it stands shareholders, CEO's, business owners reduce liability to themselves via LLC, incorporation.
Oversimplified, "Oh, what my company does, I'm not responsible for. So if my company dumps toxic waste in the river, well you can't come after me personally, as CEO, for doing it, you can only go after the company and what the company has. Therefore the company is its own individual entity. Oh yeah, because the company is an individual entity, then it can give money to PAC's and campaigns of politicians that are pro toxic waste river dumping. And the company can give millions and millions and millions of dollars to PAC's and candidates, to cap the amount a company can give interferes with the first amendment. Since companies are an individual entity, they enjoy freedom of speech protection."
Tom Stayer: "That's not right! Companies shouldn't be considered individual entities, citizens, protected like individual people!"
