What is your favorite Supreme Court Decision

[Spinaroonie]

I'll start. R.A.V. v St. Paul, Minnesota. This one basically says that laws dealing with conent-based restriction of speech get to have the strict scrutiny hammer whacked down on them, unless the gov't has a compelling state interest to restrict the speech - which is incredibly difficult to prove.

Roe v. Wade

I can't think of another that would have more impact on me as a woman.

Nope.

Reno v American Civil Liberties Union where most of the 30 minute delibiration time is spend on educating the supreme court on what the internet is.

HI SD!

Jefferson was quite the fighter. I know the navy was strong but did the USA even have an army?

I guess they must have, Wilkinson had to be in charge of someone.

Brown v. Board Of Education, no question. Not only was it broad and sweeping, its heart was in the right place.
