Research Currently in Progess

Rosenberg, D.(n.d.). The Supreme Court's Muddled Conception of Corporate Personhood. In Progress.

The Supreme Court's two recent decisions in Citizens United (2010) and Hobby Lobby (2014) both confer rights to corporations that are rooted in the First Amendment. While the decision in Citizens United applied to all kinds of corporations, Hobby Lobby was limited to privately held (or closely held) corporations. The language in Hobby Lobby's majority opinion regarding the religious rights of shareholders appears to contradict much of the thrust of Citizens United's extension of free speech rights to publicly held corporations.
