US Supreme Court Meme (from rivers_bend)

The Rules: Post info about ONE US Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.)

I admit I had to go look up the name (promise if I run for second highest office in the land, I'll memorize the most important cases to me).

Loving v. Virginia (1967) was the case in which the US Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional. The effect was to end all race-based legal restriction on marriage in the United States.
