Warning: Outside of Missoula, there isn't a whole lot of appreciation for smudgy people.  For the most part.  Barring small enclaves.

I'm only black legally, and Montana doesn't recognize Federal law, so...

Buh? 


Pretend that after that there was a little yellow guy with three question marks over his head.

It's a Montana joke.

Um.  Wow.  The judges in Montana are bad ass.

"Corporations are not persons," writes Nelson. "Human beings are persons, and it is an affront to the inviolable dignity of our species that courts have created a legal fiction which forces people—human beings—to share fundamental, natural rights with soulless creatures of government." Just in case that wasn't crystal clear, Nelson goes on to add that "while corporations and human beings share many of the same rights under the law, they clearly are not bound equally to the same codes of good conduct, decency, and morality, and they are not held equally accountable for their sins. Indeed, it is truly ironic that the death penalty and hell are reserved only to natural persons."

And that's from the DISSENTING OPINION.

:banana:

I believe there are a few other states with similar measures in the works.
