If you had the power to repeal a law, which one would you repeal?

I would overturn the USSC decsion in Santa Clara County vs Union Pacific Railroad. This is the idiocy which declares that a corporation is a "person" with the same Bill of Rights protections as a a natural person. Since no natural person can live for hundreds of years or be physically present in several places simultaneously, this is obvious nonsense. But this silly artificial personhood means that corporatation have a "free speech right" to participate in our political process as if they were privite individuals like you and I. How can we mere human voters ever expect to match the influence of corporate "persons" in our political processes?
