in a land­mark january 21st decision by the highest court in the greatest country of the world, the supreme court — the single-​most trusted body in the entire uni­verse — finally recog­nized the con­sti­tu­tional rights of america’s most mar­gin­al­ized seg­ment of the pop­u­la­tion: cor­por­a­tions.
