Free speech debate over Nike case reaches Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will review California's ruling that Nike statements to defend overseas factory practices were commercial speech not protected by the First Amendment. Critics urge overturning the distinction between commercial and noncommercial speech to keep corporate debate robust amid globalization concerns. Nike supporters and activists clash over truth in advertising and global labor standards.

Why Democrats hold power with Jews and blacks
Dennis Prager argues that Jewish and black voting patterns for Democrats arise less from policy and more from collective memories. He cites Jewish fear of Christianity and the far right and Black anger rooted in slavery and racism, shaping loyalty to a party that promises protection and remedies. He notes counterpoints where demographics support some Democratic positions yet still follow these enduring memories.
