A "legal entity" is not the same thing as a "person." In fact, in the United States, a corporation is regarded as a "person." In other countries, a corporation is regarded as a "legal entity."
The stupidity and utter irrationality of regarding a corporation as a "person" is starkly revealed in this ridiculous ruling. As much as in the Citizens United ruling. Consider that, as a "person," a corporation is entitled to food stamps, a driving license and Social Security when it retires.
One possibly good thing: as a "person," a corporation cannot consume alcoholic beverages until it's 21 years old.
