McKeown was the one who split her vote.  I definitely agree with her in the 7-4 opinion that corporations should be considered to be people under the Alien Tort Statute.  Torts are one of the most clear places for corporations to be considered persons.  While I agree with the dissenters about the lack of wisdom displayed in allowing such a suit to be brought in federal court, the place for that lack to be corrected is not by judicial activism, but by Congress revising the Alien Tort Statute.
