Gakked from a bunch of people

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.

Give it up to Marbury v Madison, everybody! Judicial review in the house!

And you might think it's odd of me, but I'm a fan of...no, not what you're thinking. I'm not a fan at all, really, but it was fun to quote Meet The Feebles. (Man I need to see that again.) What I'm really fan of is Lawrence v Texas! Consenting adults? Go on and get biz-zay.

Some nice ones over here, but I wouldn't have known them if not for the site: http://www.supremedicta.com/2008/09/greatest-case-name-ever.html

In rem cases are hilarious. There's also a famous case where someone sued Satan--and the court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
