When a 1942 Supreme Court decision that most people never heard of makes the front page of the New York Times in 2012, you know something unusual is going on.
What makes that 1942 case — Wickard v. Filburn — important today is that it stretched the federal government's power so far that the Obama administration is using it as an argument to claim before today's Supreme Court it has the legal authority to impose ObamaCare mandates on individuals.
As our Supreme Court considers what may be a "landmark" decision in the future of our nation, I thought it might be an interesting exercise for all of us to take the constitutional quiz located here. There are only eight questions so it won't take you long.
You'll find the answers to the quiz there as well.
