IMPORTANT political trivia

Jul 10, 2009 15:34

Apparently it is unusual that I can name all nine justices on the Supreme Court, who appointed them, and which way they lean. Just read that less than half of the people could even say how many justices we have.

Worse, just a little over half could name a single case that the court has heard, and mostly because of Roe v. Wade (which is not a means of crossing the SF Bay).

To say that I find this disappointing is an understatement. You would think that people would want to know who has a third of governmental power, only divided among nine people, appointed for life would be. (Awkward way of saying that, but I think you get the drift.)
