Because the Constitution doesn't apply to private entities. These guys hate freedom, they hate the constitution, and they found a loophole. The government, corrupt as it may be, is still accountable in many ways to the people. If a politician does something the people don't like, they won't vote for him. We can effectively fire our entire government if the collective will was strong enough. That's not likely to happen, but it is possible.
Corporations are accountable to no one. If you are on private property, they can violate as many constitutional rights that you can think of.
I think the ultimate goal is to strip all governmental power and hand it all to privatized, corporate conglomerates. They're already augmenting our military with paid mercenaries. This way, the constitution becomes a meaningless document because the government has no power to enforce it.
