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....

I call bullshit

When my students try that shit with me, the answer is WRONG.

Of course the only two SPOTUS decisions I can remember off the top of my head are Plessy vs Ferguson and Brown vs the Board of Education.

Shame those aren't enforced properly, either.

She's an idiot.

I suppose she could feel that EVERYTHING the SCOTUS has done, except RvW, was gospel...

Except, as others have said, she's actively cited cases in press statements....

yah, she's an idiot, but let's call her an idiot for the RIGHT reason.
