What's next? Is she going to be equally concerned if a president says that he believes that he should not have the power of a King or dictator?
He just knows what's spoon fed to him by like minded leftists.
IMO corporate personhood was and still is a tool for the globalist agenda. It is a legal fiction that generally ascribes most of the rights of human beings (citizens) to a legal entity. While not specifically protected from civil or criminal action, its puppeteers, that being its majority shareholders who are very much involved in the direction of the corporate entity, are shielded from any form of legal responsibility, which is thus transferred to its (often uninformed) directors and officers, AKA the ultimate scapegoats.
A series of most unfortunate decisions by SCOTUS, beginning with Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward – 17 U.S. 518 (1819) granted personhood to corporations.
In a most shocking case of SCOTUS abuse, that being Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific -118 U.S. 394 (1886) the court actually refuses to entertain any argument about the fictionality of corporate personhood and grants it (civil) rights under the 14th Amendment, a precedent that has endured for more than 100 years.

Are you with Feinstein and highly concerned that Gorsuch is an originalist and constitutional constructionist?
would you rather see a justice who believes in the concept of judicial activism and believes it's their job to create or re-write law?
Do you believe in disregarding the constitution when it seems convenient to do so?
