Off the top of my head, here are a few US Supreme Court cases I can name

Tinker vs Des Moines Independents Schools

Brown vs Board of Education

Roe v Wade

Bush v Gore

The sisterly duo known as Heart sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign Thursday afternoon after their hit “Barracuda” was used—twice—without permission as the official rallying cry for the vice presidential candidate after her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne and Boston have all previously made noise about the GOP’s unauthorized use of their songs during this year’s campaign.
