Multinationals can't hide behind First Amendment: "THE SUPREME COURT ruled yesterday that Nike can't use the US First Amendment which gives individual the right to free speech, meaning an activist can continue a court case alleging the boot vendor uses sweatshops to make its products.
Nike had wanted the Supreme Court to say that the First Amendment covers corporate advertising. And press releases.
The foot firm had the backing of forty media giants and also the American Civil Liberties Union in its appeal.
One of the judges in the case, Justice JP Stevens, claimed that the speech Nike was seeking a ruling on was a blend of commercial speech and debate."
