I’m surprised she did’t mention the death penalty for child rapists case, or the eminent domain case that lets anyone with more money get the government to coerce us out of our homes (castles).

I would have said the Dred Scott decision.

That latter being the Kelo decision, and it was the first one that came to my mind.

[Verginius Rufus]

Too bad she didn't remember her US history or she could have thrown out a couple of historic cases which everyone now thinks were wrongly decided--the Dred Scott case and Plessy v. Ferguson.

But she should have been able to remember Kelo or some of the recent cases having to do with Gitmo.

Obviously the campaign should have better prepared her, but there is something unfair about expecting her to be a quiz-show expert on lots of topics that she won't have to deal with as V.P. I don't think Biden or Obama has ever faced hostile questioning of a similar character, ever.
