			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, if there were any doubts that Fox News would provide Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin an opportunity for a &#8220;do-over&#8221; on those annoying questions asked by CBS&#8217; Katie Couric, they are officially laid to rest.</p>
<p>Palin was a veritable fountain of recent Supreme Court trivia when Carl Cameron asked her if she could name any decisions she disagreed with, other than <em>Roe vs. Wade.</em><span id="more-10373"></span></p>
<p>Palin cited <em>Kennedy vs. Louisiana</em>, in which the high court held that a death sentence for a man convicted of the rape of a child constituted cruel and unusual punishment. Palin took issue with the ruling because Louisiana&#8217;s &#8220;rights were taken away by the Supreme Court.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also disagrees with  &#8220;the Kelo case,&#8221; or <em>Kelo vs. New London</em> &#8212; a now-famous eminent domain ruling &#8212; because &#8220;property rights are so precious.&#8221;</p>
<p>Finally, she disputed the recent <em>Exxon vs. Baker</em> decision, which <a title="http://washingtonindependent.com/10072/palin-flack-performs-logical-gymnastics-cant-stick-the-landing" href="http://washingtonindependent.com/10072/palin-flack-performs-logical-gymnastics-cant-stick-the-landing" target="_blank">directly affected her state while she was governor</a>.</p>
<p>She did not refer to it by name, instead saying, &#8220;the Exxon Valdez oil spill &#8212; the siding with the oil company, as they decimated Alaska&#8217;s coastline&#8230;on the punitive damage that was to be awarded.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cameron also allowed Palin another stab at answering which newspapers and magazines she reads. He said her answer was, &#8220;The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and&#8230;The Economist magazine.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wow. Nothing to be embarrassed about there. If she&#8217;s so well-informed, why didn&#8217;t she just say that the first time?</p>
<p>UPDATE: Here&#8217;s the video, thanks to <a title="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/221816.php" href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/221816.php" target="_blank">TPM</a>.<br />
