"What Does Corporation Mean?
A legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners. Corporations enjoy most of the rights and responsibilities that an individual possesses; that is, a corporation has the right to enter into contracts, loan and borrow money, sue and be sued, hire employees, own assets and pay taxes.
The most important aspect of a corporation is limited liability. That is, shareholders have the right to participate in the profits, through dividends and/or the appreciation of stock, but are not held personally liable for the company's debts."

I guess that judicial activism is in the eye of the beholder. I see the Citizens United case given corporations overwhelming say in politics. If you don't like that case perhaps the equal pay case that this court overturned saying the woman had to file within 18 months.
