Nearly 10 percent of college graduates think television's Judge Judy serves on the Supreme Court, according to a new report released this month.
The report, titled "A Crisis in Civic Education," was based on a survey of 1,000 adults in August and concludes that "recent college graduates are alarmingly ignorant of America's history and heritage."
"They cannot identify the term lengths of members of Congress, the substance of the First Amendment, or the origin of the separation of powers," the report said, referring to college graduates. The lack of civic knowledge extended to the Supreme Court, where 9.6 percent of college graduates incorrectly identified Judith Sheindlin -- who handles small legal disputes on the TV show "Judge Judy" -- as a justice. Another 5.5 percent of college grads picked John Kerry, the former senator who is now secretary of State, as a member of the court.
Of those surveyed, the report found only 28.4 percent of college graduates identified James Madison as the father of the Constitution, while 59.2 percent thought the answer was Thomas Jefferson.
Nearly 40 percent of college graduates didn't know Congress has the power to declare war and less than 50 percent of the college graduates surveyed were aware that presidential impeachments are tried before the U.S. Senate.

All trump supporters.
Which means that 95% of the Former Twelfth Lady’s supporters think Judge Judy is the Chief Justice.
Life is not a trivial pursuit game. If I want to know "trivia"....I look it up.
She might as well be.
Oh...if only! She should be!
I’d trade Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg for Judge Judy.
Now that’s funny...
Both Ginsberg and Judy are from the same neighborhood and graduated from the same Brooklyn HS as Schumer and Sanders. Brooklyn Rules!
Not a ONE of them come out of high school with ANY civics or American comprehension
I just got re-elected to my school board
We had graduated 225 plus, eligible to vote kids ... and I saw ONE at MY precinct and my friend and his family saw a total of two
THREE kids that had just left a school that had had some issues that I and now my newly elected friend, were very vocal about and PRO STUDENT ... and only three showed up to vote.
They are confusing her with Judge Jennine ... understandable what with the terrific work load college pile on these days with courses like Remedial Reading 101, Remedial Math for Dummies 101, and so on ...
Brawndo!
Most assinine comment of the day. But it's still early...I'm sure you can top that.
Are you seriously so filled with frustration that your lame candidate is FAILING that you need to start off a completely unrelated thread by pissing on Trump supporters?
Get lost, Troll.
More likely, they are Bernie Sanders supporters.
Looks like Elena Kagen is asleep too. Wow how knew Obungo’s speech makes people sleep =)
*Who knew
She would be an improvement over four of ‘em (IMHO). I have heard she makes more money than all nine justices combined. So she wouldn’t want the pay cut?
Judy negotiated her own long term contract for her show. No agent. She cut herself the fattest contract in modern history. One million a week. Smart chick!
“All trump supporters.”
Good! We’ll take al the votes we can get. You can keep Jeb Bush, the eGOP RINO Uniparty representative.
