Gacked from calligraphiti and others, it's the Supreme Court meme.

As evidenced by Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade. [Note: I don't have theYouTube link to prove this, but after the whole newspaper fiasco, I'm afraid I'm willing to take this one on faith.]

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, please feel free to take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun!

Go forth, and edumacate!
