When the hell is this lady gonna get mad and drop some cussin'. Judging by her intellegence you'd think every other thing out of her mouth would be an f-bomb.

-Profanity is a poor attempt by a weak mind to make a strong statement.

PALIN: I do. Yeah, I do.

COURIC: the cornerstone of Roe v Wade

PALIN: I do. And I believe that –individual states can handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in in an issue like that.

I love how Katie Couric tries to patiently explain why her answer to one question is completely in opposition to her answer to the other question, but no! Palin forges ahead with another syntactical fucking nightmare of an evasive answer.

Here's a great one!

Tinker vs. Des Moines

Or this might be one of the best ones: Brown vs. Board of Education

I can name more Court cases than Palin. Can I be VP now?

One would think that the Governor of Alaska could have talked about the recent Exxon Valdez ruling. She's horrible.

palin continues to astound me. how could anyone vote for her? it's shocking.

The only thing about this is that tomorrow night, who is going to be following up with her to make sure she actually answers the question. Say what you will about Katie Couric, but at least she tries to make her answer the question. I fear that the fact that she's just jabbered on for 2 minutes and not actually said anything may get lost tomorrow.

Obviously, she meant that she's like a second grader compared to Biden.

Go drink your chardoney and have gay sex with each other.

Learn to spell Ms. Wright. Oh, yeah it's French word and you don't even know English.

Sorry!!!

Sarah Palin is a Christian marter and when she wins you libs will sing a different song.

The case is called Morrison v. U.S. The Supreme Court overturned a section of VAWA that allowed federal courts the jurisdiction to hear civil suits for damages by abuse victims against their abusers.

In spite of the hearings on the issue that Biden referred to, the Supreme Court found that family law was traditionally regulated by the states, and that Congress was going beyond its Commerce Clause powers in extending federal court jurisdiction to the area.

There is merit to the idea of allowing federal judges and juries to hear these cases. While state courts are of high quality in many places, an abuse victim in a rural area had the option to get a hearing in a federal court, before a typically more worldly, better educated judge and a jury drawn from the entire federal judicial district. By contrast, in state court, the judge and jury would be from her home county.

I would hope that the court would rule similarly, if, say, a conservative Congress amended DOMA to bar states from recognizing any same-sex marriages. Wouldn't hold my breath with the current court.

Maybe I should call my maid of honor and ask if she wants to help me check and make sure I'm still straight.

"In that sense, I'm a Marxist, in that I believe that Labor should not be allowed to organize."

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

(HEAD EXPLODES)

The Miller Decision in 1939 allowed the Federal Government to ban machine guns and sawed-off shotguns. Dumb though she is, you'd think at least that one would have stuck in her craw.

What? Since when is violence a matter for family courts? Their argument boils down to why VAWA exists in the first place: too many jurisdictions consider domestic violence to be a private family matter. Christ.

Here's one definition: "One who believes in and promotes state individualism as opposed to nationalistic controls." Under this definition, you're right (ouch).

Here's another, and this is what I was thinking of when I heard the interview:

"A member of a former political party (The Federalist Party) in the United States that favored a strong centralized federal government"

Maybe this makes me dumber than someone who named their kids "Trig" and "Track," but I've never heard the term "Federalist" used to describe a States' Rights point of view (which Palin holds, along with her secessionist husband). Wasn't Lincoln's army called the Federal Army, fighting a confederacy of independent states?

Now, I'm all for Obama, but, to be fair, Biden appeared to discuss Roe as if the trimester system is the law. It is not, and the only temporal distinction that matters now is pre- vs. post-viability. Biden should know that.

Hopefully he was just answering the question as it was asked: Why do you think Roe was a good decision? Still, it would have been nice to hear him acknowledge that the portion of Roe he discussed is not the law.
