I don't know if you remember, but a while back I posted a piece showing how elected officials don't understand the Constitution. A study showed that elected officials scored a 49% (average) on a ten question quiz on the Constitution. I love how life works, for now we have a concrete example of this.
One of the questions was to name the three branches of government, and only 49% of elected officials got it right. I don't think Chuck Schumer (D) took that test, but he definitely would have missed this one. The correct answer is: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. But that's NOT what Schumer thinks.
If the player doesn't work, try thie link:

Do NOT believe your Congressman when he tells you something is Constitutional, because odds are he doesn't understand the Constitution in the first place!
Thanks, Mr. Schumer, for proving how clueless you politicians really are about the very document you swore to uphold and defend.
This is depressing, actually. It's one thing to read survey results, but it's another to actually SEE this kind of ignorance in elected officials.
