Sarah Palin and the Supreme Court

Wow. She can't name another Supreme Court opinion other than Roe v. Wade. Not even the "big ones" that members of the public should know -- Gideon v. Wainwright, Griswold v. Connecticut, In Re Loving, Brown v. Board, Gore v. Florida Board of Elections (well its something like that). But the real shock is that she doesn't even know a very recent case that applied directly to her State. The Supreme Court, only this Summer, issued an opinion in Exxon v. United States in which they essentially established a Cap on punitive damage awards in any Federal Common Law based suit. This case involved the Exxon Valdez. Its hard to believe that the energy minded Governor of Alaska didn't know about this case.

(Also the DC Gun ban case... handed down just about the same day as the Exxon case...)
