Supremes to Hear Nike’s Business-Lies-Are-Free-Speech Claims
As originally covered by lies.com back in May of 2002, Nike was slapped down by the California Supreme Court for claiming that falsehoods the company told about the sweatshops it runs in the Third World were Constitutionally protected free speech, rather than advertising, which would be subject to truth-in-advertising laws. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear Nike’s appeal of that decision. What do you think: Could the current U.S. Supreme Court rule that businesses have a Constitutionally protected right to lie to consumers? Oh, yeah. You betcha.

regardless of the verdict in this one, I wouldn’t be surprised. After all, it’s only a matter of time before we’re living in America(TM)
