responded by threatening to:Your Answer: override the Supreme Court’s
decisions by gaining three-quarter majorities in both houses of
CongressCorrect Answer: appoint additional Supreme Court justices who

That's one I missed also. I gave the same, incorrect answer.

Same here. Got the Socrates but missed the Gettysburg Address
question, which was dumb.

33 question Civics test.

I scored 90.1%. I was surprised by the quesitons and that it accepted
most of my answers. I'll have to look into the ISI and get a read on
them.

Top of the mornin to you WAFA. The moron Flajim wrote 81.82%. I guess that
makes you just borderline moron. You should get your money back from that
Kansas liberal training facility that prepped you in civics.

For a canuck, I think I did pretty good on my first try:

You answered 24 out of 33 correctly — 72.73 %

I wrote them on the question of "If taxes equal government spending,
then:".... there technically was no right option. debt is not the same
as deficit. You can have debt with a zero deficit.

numb-de-plum could try all day and not get 50%.

What I found interesting is in the "table" link politicians didn't do
that well. The truly lead with their ignorance.

Why stop there, man. DEANS!


Who knows, would be cool to see how the 58 state president would do in a
fair test without a pre-review of the answers. Beat Obama and become
president!!
