You must have paid more attention in law school than I did. Lets see, Lawrence is the sodomy case, Dred Scott is the slave case, NY Times is the defamation case (I know that one because I have litigated these) and Bakke is affirmative action, I think. I have no clue what the others are. You really think that most Senators or Pres and VP candidates could tell you all those off the cuff? I think you must be kidding.
