Couric Stumps Palin with Supreme Court Question: Personally, I would have come back all smart-assed with “Y’know, Katie, I’ve never been fond of Plessy. SCOTUS really screwed the pooch on those.” I definitely think there’s something to this “gotcha journalism” charge. But I can name eleven decisions off the top of my head, after the jump, to varying degrees of judicial precision.
- Marbury v. Madison
- Lochner v. New York
- Plessy v. Ferguson
- Brown v. Board of Education
- Miranda v. Arizoan
- Pacifica
- Roe v. Wade
- Dred Scott
- Northern Pacific
- That one that struck down the NRA
- Kelo
After reviewing this list, I of course slapped my forehead repeatedly.
