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, take the meme to your OWN LJ to spread the fun.
I'm going to go with Buck v. Bell- where the United States Supreme Court upheld a statute instituting compulsory sterilization of the mentally retarded "for the protection and health of the state." It was largely seen as attempt to improve the human race by eliminating "defectives" from the gene pool.
Yeah- they actually said that.
