Okay, I'll do the meme as written too...
As was demonstrated in an interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.
The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.
Except, I won't do just one:
Loving vs. VA.: struck down miscagenation laws
Lawrence vs. TX: struck down anti sodomy laws
Gideon vs. Fuck If I Remember: established right to counsel
Miranda vs. FIIR (see above): established that you must be informed of your rights
Marbury vs. Madison: established judicial review
DC vs. Heller: yes, you actually do have a right to your second amendment rights
Brown vs. KS Board of Ed.: struck down separate but equal
People vs. Larry Flint: established parody as protected speech
Dred Scott vs. FIIR: upheld slavery return laws if memory serves, but I'm fuzzy on this one, been a long time.
So, I may not be the most informed of people on the street, but I'm pretty sure I far outrank Sarah Palin.
