[EX Q]: On Monday it was announced that Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has signed a lifetime contract with Nike. It is believed to be the first deal American sportwear giant's kind, with the 30-year-old's contract worth up to $500million (£333m). Sportsmail assesses what does the enormity of the four-time MVP's deal with Nike now means for those concerned. Nike's eye-watering deal to James' is based on the assumption that he will stay scandal-free throughout the rest of his career, as well as have staying power in the many years of his life when he is no longer an active player. The sportswear company will probably base their James' model on the success of their partnership with Michael Jordan.LeBron James has signed a lifetime contract with apparel giant NikeHe previously signed a contract with Nike before graduating high schoolJames has won two NBA titles and two Olympic golds during his career30-year-old's signature Nike shoe set to surpass $400m (£265m) for 2015

[EX Q]: (CNN) -- The Supreme Court begins each session with a proclamation that ends with the words "God save this Honorable Court." Even strict advocates of the separation of Church and State ought to say "Amen" to that line after Thursday's decision upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act . I write this as someone who not only thought that the act would be overturned, but also still thinks there are strong constitutional arguments to be made against the mandate. All Americans, however, regardless of their partisan affiliation or views on the Constitution, had something to celebrate Thursday . Despite what almost all the pundits predicted, the court's decision provides some evidence that there remains one institution of American government that cannot be seen as nakedly partisan. In the end, Chief Justice John Roberts, a career Republican who was nominated for the Supreme Court by George W. Bush, cast the deciding vote upholding the signature act of the current Democratic administration.Paul Sracic says whatever your political bent, you can celebrate Supreme Court's decisionHe says it's evidence that there's still an American institution that is not nakedly partisanHe says a career Republican, the Chief Justice, cast deciding vote on Dem Obama's lawSracic: The example of bipartisan deliberation was much needed in today's political climate 
 Question:Unfortunately, the divide between _ and Democrats has, if anything, gotten worse over the past 3Â½ years.

[EX Q]: Washington (CNN) Fired FBI Director James Comey publicly confirmed for the first time Wednesday a series of "very concerning," "very awkward" and "inappropriate" conversations with President Donald Trump that concerned him "greatly" -- but do these interactions rise to the level of obstruction of justice? Some legal experts say this isn't a close call. What is obstruction of justice? "Let's just keep this in perspective. There is a criminal investigation going on of one of the President's top associates, his former national security adviser, one of the most ... important people in the government. He gets fired. He's under criminal investigation and the President brings in the FBI director and says, please stop your investigation," said CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin on CNN's Newsroom. "If that isn't obstruction of justice, I don't know what is."James Comey is scheduled to testify before the Senate intelligence committee ThursdayComey says Trump demanded his loyalty, asked him to drop a probe into ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn and pressured him to publicly declare that he was not under investigation
