Palin v. Couric
Click to viewOk. So here's the clip of Palin being unable to talk about Supreme Court cases. It wasn't so much that she wasn't able to name one, she just couldn't talk about any one with enough knowledge to say she disagreed with it.
But she *does* manage to babble about local control. Which...is she talking about Brown here? For real. When do conservatives like to talk about local control? School boards teach creationism, abortion (they don't actually favor local control in that case as the late pregnancy abortion ban that Congress passed shows), and segregation. They do not favor local control when it comes to gay marriage or some medical pot, to bring up some current issues where you'd think States Rights would come into play. States Rights = Brown. Legislation from the bench = Roe. Yes?
I know I'm, like, assuming that she had some kind of point. And that when she talks it means something. But still. Is there some *other* decided-on-a-local-level issue that she could be talking about that I'm not thinking of? I guess she could be talking about Lawrence v. Texas, but somehow I doubt she's even aware that sodomy laws aren't allowed anymore.
(The bar has been set so low for this woman that I'm just happy that this was the question she couldn't answer and not "quick! name a Supreme Court case!")
