TD387 - morbeedo's Revenge - Final Results

[morbeedo]

If you’re counting doubles players for the tennis question, should Venus Williams be a correct answer?

Man, if I knew you were going with doubles, I would have busted out my guaranteed single of Gator Great Lisa Raymond. She has the career slam in doubles and 3 of the 4 in mixed doubles (and a Bronze in the Olympics for good measure)..

I’m inclined to throw out the question and assign anyone who complained 50 penalty points; instead, I’ll just berate my playtesters- the motleyest crew ever assembled!

[morbeedo]

This is definitely a spiteful, evil, malicious TD to torment the left brained people out here. If this was a fight, the referee would stop it and let me and SensiCay leave with our dignity. May you get the call and face a board full of sports questions

Good to see you’re finally catching on!

[morbeedo]

My employer expects work to be done this morning (!!!), so tune in later for today’s reveal (Q7-Q9)

[morbeedo]

Oof -- I saw the photo array, and thought it was a bit unfair. Normally I know a few to several of the answers and have limited choices, but in this one I could name every actor, the role he or she played in the franchise, and describe memorable scenes for each. It was really hard to select one.

Now you've made me sad that I knew them.

My work here is done

7. SCOTUS
A very topical question! Name one of these landmark Supreme Court decisions. Full case name required unless commonly known by an abridged name

Spoiler

• 1857 The Constitution does not consider slaves to be U.S. citizens. Rather, they are constitutionally protected property of their masters
• 1896 Jim Crow laws are constitutional under the doctrine of ‘Separate but Equal’
• 1944 The need to protect against espionage outweighs the rights of Americans of Japanese descent
• 1954 In the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place
• 1965 A state law that criminalizes the use of contraception by married couples is unconstitutional because all Americans have a constitutionally protected right to privacy
• 1966 Police must advise criminal suspects of their rights under the Constitution to remain silent, to consult with a lawyer, and to have one appointed to them if they are indigent
• 1967 Ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States
• 1973 The right to privacy implied by the Constitution protects a woman’s choice in matters of abortion
• 1974 Neither separation of powers, nor the need for confidentiality can sustain unqualified Presidential immunity from the judicial process
• 1989 The Constitution protects desecration of the flag as a form of symbolic speech
• 2010 Limits on corporate and union political expenditures during election cycles violate the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment
• 2015 Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law
