nike case, the good folks wrote amicus brief on kasky's side saying, you know, corporations should not have these rights, you know, a hundred major american corporations were saying, no corporations have to have the rights to lie, you know, the free speech right. and like we all do, i mean, there's no law against saying, no you don't look fat in that dress, you know, no law against it. if you're under oath may be or a police officer, those are the exceptions. so, what we had noticed was that in an earlier case regarding this stuff boston -- first national bank of boston vs. bellotti, where in massachusetts there was a law that said that corporations couldn't involve themselves in politics, unless in clerical campaigns, unless the campaign directly impacted the corporation. and the first national bank of boston had put money under a political campaign that had nothing to do with banking. and so they were sued by bellotti, who was the attorney general, it went all the way to the supreme court. and in that case, the court -- that was one of the cases that set the precedent for this case,
