Sadly, I don't pay that much attention to the Supreme Court either. I had to stop and ask myself what others I could name. Brown v. Board came quickly to mind, but all the other ones I know are the ones I use all the time: Terry, Wong Sun, Crawford, etc. Not ones that any politician would care about. I know vaguely that there was a "taking" case that people were fired up about a few years ago. What are the Supreme Court cases that you think politician ought to have on the tips of their tongues? That isn't a sarcastic question, I'm genuinely curious.

Not many. But she should be able to name at least Brown v. Board of Education, Miranda v. Arizona, U.S. v. Nixon, Marbury v. Madison, Plessy v. Ferguson. Any educated person should be able to name these. They should be part of the U.S. Citizenship exam.

Why haven't they had her on with friendly media for the past month, building her confidence and speaking to the base? If CBS is really keeping the Supreme Court segment for a later date, then why are they going back on Couric's show? Hell, why haven't they had ESPN do an interview with Barry Melrose or that wacky hockey guy with the colorful suits? |

These are cases covering critical constitutional questions. I don't even care if she knows the names, so long as she can identify the issues and the ruling.
