As evidenced by Katie Couric's interview, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court case she disagrees with other than Roe v. Wade. (And it's possible she can't name any other Supreme Court case. See the clip here and decide for yourself. Warning: it's really painful

So I managed to force myself to watch the video (between my fingers and from behind the couch, mind) and I can't tell whether she's actually unable to name another case or unable to name one she disagrees with.

The latter isn't so embarrassing, since if you put me on the spot, I'd have trouble remembering the name of one I *disagreed* with. Is Plessy v. Ferguson the "separate but equal" case? If so, that's the only one I could think of by name. (I've heard of the one you cite, but didn't know the name.)

Obviously I still would never vote for her, because I cannot imagine that there's a single issue in the universe that she and I are within a lightyear of agreement on.

Yeah, that's Plessy v. Ferguson. I admit to having looked up the exact name of the case I cited (and certainly the details). But even if she couldn't cite a case by it's proper name, couldn't she think of any to describe? It just seems clear to me on every occasion that she doesn't know any specifics, just generalities, often based on suspect evidence. I know I'm basically preaching to the choir here.
