Supreme Court narrows free speech limits this term
The nine month term ends with the court upholding government curb on telemarketer fraud and cross burning trespass laws in public housing. It preserves longer copyrights for Disney characters and rejects broad protection for Nike ads in a speech case. The court also allows crime ridden housing areas to bar visitors and upholds porn blocking for libraries. Conservatives and liberals react with cautious notes on future limits.
