Audio waveform overlaid with animated motion graphics of Palin's Supreme Court non-answer.

COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

PALIN: Mmmmm -- [lip smack] -- Well -- Let's see. There's -- [deep breath] [sigh] -- Of course, in -- in the great history of America, there have been rulings, that um -- There's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and -- Um -- There are those issues -- again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best [pause] held on a state level and addressed there. So -- Um, you know, going through the history of -- America, there -- there would be others. But, um --

COURIC: Can you think of any?

PALIN: Well, I -- I would think of -- of any again, that could best be dealt with on a more local level -- maybe I would take issue with. But -- um -- You know, as, uh -- as a mayor, and then as a 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 -- as it reads today.

Personally, I think that Couric should have let Palin finish the first part of her answer.
