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.


My own sentimental favorite, of course, is Loving v Virginia. And Brown v the Board of Education of Topeka, KS is a perennial. But since I'm an American historian-in-training, allow me to give you a few others to select from:

Lawrence v Texas
Plessy v Ferguson
Marbury v Madison
Griswold v Connecticut
Brandenburg v Ohio
Boy Scouts of America v Dale
Regents of the University of California v Bakke
Campbell v Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.
Kitzmiller v Dover Area School District
Dred Scott v Sandford
Miranda v Arizona
Gideon v Wainwright
Miller v California
Miller v United States
New York Times Co. v United States
United States v Nixon
Flood v Kuhn
Reno v American Civil Liberties Union
Sony Corp. of America v Universal City Studios, Inc.
MGM Studios, Inc. v Grokster, Ltd.
Batson v Kentucky
United States v Harris
United States v Paramount Pictures, Inc.
United States v Sioux Nation of Indians
United States v Wong Kim Ark
