90%, too. I have to review the bill of rights! Also, I knew it was one of the two N-[insert number here] forms. But that would be something one would know, I’d imagine, if one had applied.

Well, at least we make up a gaggle of “good” citizens.

And, Brad, you should care about Patrick Henry . . . From Wikipedia:“Give me liberty or give me death” is a famous quotation from a speech made by Patrick Henry to the Virginia House of Burgesses.

The speech was given March 23, 1775, at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia, and is credited with having single-handedly convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War. In attendance were Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Reportedly, the crowd, upon hearing the speech, jumped up and shouted, “To Arms! To Arms!”

90% Current supreme court justice? Pfft. I don’t watch the news. And who cares who said something about liberty and dying? Isn’t it more important who actually, er, died for liberty?

I got 95% right. The one I missed was the INS form. I don’t think I was ever taught that one…

I got 85% of them right. I missed the ones about voting rights and INS forms. Also missed that trick question about who selects Supreme Court justices, because “selects” should be “nominates”.
