I believe Erie v Tompkins dealt with 'personhood', the treating of people ignorant of natural law as 'things'...enslaved entities. Once we know who we are in natural law, the choices we make are our own. Nancy Pelosi, having violated the spirit of the law, which SHE is responsible for legislating, has only condemned herself. Erie also deals with issue of corporations as government created entities. There are no 'quasi-governmental' entities. They are all creation of government. A maxim of law is that the created cannot be greater than the creator.
