The courts have held, again and again, that a corporation functions under the law as a person. Schumer is wrong as a matter of established law.
The goal of this bit of kubuki theater is not to pass legislation. It is to insure the anticapitalist base of the DP that they are still loved.

The US Constitution cannot be amended by law. It’s really as simple as that. In other words, corporate law can’t be used by Congress to circumvent constitutionally protected rights, like the freedom of religion. It doesn’t even matter if a particular business owner is willing to give up their religious liberty in order to do business.

1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What do the words, “no law” mean if not NO law? It’s not like laws governing incorporation aren’t, in fact, laws.
