That is a bit unnerving. Their collective score is inexcusable.

I tied ritchie. I could complain that one of my wrong answers resulted from an eye-finger-keyboard coordination malfunction but then I would be obligated to admit that I guessed well on one or two answers, so I take it as a wash.

A pure personal observation with no political commentary implied or intended: As a 1954 boomer, I am familiar with FDR only historically. I always presumed him to be wildly popular (evidenced by 3 terms, programs, etc) and practically above reproach. Beloved.

So with regard to his handling of Supreme Court Justices, I am bemused that he threatened to do to "his" supreme court the same thing that recent presidents have been intensly criticized or villified for doing.
