For those of you tossing out Supreme Court decisions willy-nilly, you might want to pay attention:

ABC News' Ariane de Vogue Reports: In an interview with CBS's Katie Couric on "The Evening News" Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could not cite a Supreme Court decision she thinks was wrongly decided besides Roe v. Wade. (emphasis mine)

So... it isn't that Palin can't name SCOTUS decisions. It's that she had to name one she felt was wrongly decided, that is currently in force, and that impacts her worldview significantly enough to be remembered.

Now.... can *YOU* name one that meets those criterion?

Without resorting to Google, mind you....

That too.

In fact, MSNBC was reporting that the Governor herself opposed a Supreme Court decision. The one where they backed up the 9th Circuit CoA in lowering the punitive damages against Exxon for the Valdez oil spill.

You'd have thought she could remember THAT one, having put out a statement on it at the time.

Indeed! It's troubling that she couldn't remember a problematic SCOTUS decision, since there are so many. Hell, just Dred Scott would have been enough to show she's had a decent education. She has a BS in Journalism, so any of the press decisions would have been good, too.

But, she was busy being a beauty queen, I suppose.....
