9. I think that might actually be possible.
Forced bankruptcy for negligent or willful death of another person.

2. How about the draft?
Will corporations now have to register for the draft when they turn 18?

If the draft comes back, can an entire corporation be drafted?

5. How about a class action suit under the Equal Protection clause.
If they can be a "person", then I can be a corporation, and demand that same tax breaks,
same access to loans, etc.

8. I will kick their asses. I'm callin them out to meet me.
Mano y mano.

Nah, that would be too pathetic, like beating up somebody's grandmother. If they were really people I'll bet they would all look and sound just like Larry Kudlow or Joe Lieberman.

13. "How does the defendant feel about New and Improved Jiffy Pop popcorn?"
"Well, I don't really care it."

"Guilty!"
