SCotUS Meme
Oct. 2nd, 2008 11:51 amAs 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.
I choose Griswold v. Connecticut, which declared that the massive state intrusion into an unenumerated right (use of contraception within the bounds of marriage) did not demonstrate an overriding state interest. Yes, the decision does find a right to privacy in the 4th amendment, but it's one of the few decisions which draws on the 9th amendment for its reasoning.
Now you! (And see whether you can avoid "Brown v. Board of Education", which seems to be the hands-down favorite.)
