>From WSJ article about 1st amendment protection for the PR of Nike Corp...

"You cannot, simply on the basis of who's saying it, suspend First Amendment rights," says David Remes, a First Amendment attorney who wrote a friend-of-the-court brief on hehalf of Exxon Mobil Corp., Bank of America Corp., Microsoft Corp., Monsanto Co. and Pfizer Inc. "Then all corporate speech is given no more First Amendment protection than a mere advertisement."

Wow.
