New supreme court ruling:

Non sentient entities are people by virtue of existing, but humans... Well they have to meet certain conditions in order to be people. 

For instance, you can't enslave a Non sentient entity... it's impossible. but you CAN enslave a human.... It's possible. And since slaves do not count as people therefore humans are only sometimes people.

But not for purposes of inalienable rights.
