Default OMG. Palin has no brain.

I just saw this with my own wide, staring, unbelieving eyes.

Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin what Supreme Court decisions she disagreed with. She also asked Biden.

Biden talked about the ruling that put the kibosh on the violence against women act.

Palin...

Palin said...

Palin...

No. I am not going to paraphrase. I am going to wait until they post the transcript or the video.

You will see this for yourselves.

Maybe someone could post the video.

Here's the transcript.

Quote:
COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions [than Roe v. Wade] do you disagree with?

PALIN: Well, let's see. There's --of course --in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are--those issues, again, like Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know--going through the history of America, there would be others but--

COURIC: Can you think of any?

PALIN: Well, I could think of--of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.
SHE... IS...

JUST SAYING WORDS!!!!

She sat there, silent. Then her lips started moving and WORDS meaning NOTHING came out.

I mean...

GOD!!!

man you are stuck on this interview, you have been talking about it every single second of every single day. Do yourself a favor and take some deep breaths.

Nothing Palin has said compares to what Biden said in his interview.

Whatever. Keep deluding yourself. I really don't care.

This woman is an empty skull.

Biden answers the exact same question.

Quote:
BIDEN: You know, I’m the guy who wrote the Violence Against Women act. And I said that every woman in America if they are beaten and abused by a man should be able to take that person to court. Meaning you should be able to go to federal court and sue in federal court the man who abused you if you can prove that abuse. But they said no that a woman, there’s no federal jurisdiction and I held, they acknowledged, I held about 1,000 hours of hearings proving that there’s an effect in interstate commerce. Women who are abused and beaten and beaten are women who are not able to be in the work force. And the Supreme Court said there is an impact on commerce but this is federalizing a private crime and we’re not going to allow it. I think the Supreme Court was wrong about that decision.

Okay, I'm sitting on the sidelines and obviously Palin has little grasp of the Constitution or Supreme Court. I would think such knowledge would be valuable for a VP to know. Of course if she wants to even discuss Roe v Wade she should have a comprehensive understanding of the Constitution and SCOTUS decisions of all types. I'm sure even an average politically astute individual could cite several very important Supreme Court decisions besides Roe v Wade including Brown v The Board of Education (ending segregation), the Dred Scott (v Stanford) decision (reinforcing slavery in 1857), Miranda (v Arizona) Decision (a suspects rights) and perhaps even the Buckley v Valeo decision (major decision on affirmative action) amoung many others.

But, as noted, I would like to hear some of what Biden said in these interviews. I just want to see how he compares to Palin.

Yeah I was kinda surprised. The irony as you alluded to is that Biden pointed out a civil rights issue related to women and Palin (a woman) couldn't think of any court decision she disagreed with other then the most well known. Tomorrow is going to be a disaster for the McCain camp. It's no surprise their doing everything in their power to put this debate to a stop.

I posted a link and a quote from Biden answering the same question.
