Flow Ep. 71: 1965 Literacy Test Jeopardy, States vs. the Swamp & Celebrity Jeopardy

Published 2 weeks ago
Description
Cam Cooksey and the Flow chat take on Double Jeopardy built from the 1965 Alabama literacy test, the questions Black voters were made to answer before registrars would let them sign up to vote. Cam reads each question aloud, the chat plays as one team, and the answers come in fast from regulars and first-timers alike. Categories include Crime and Punishment, Papers, and States vs. the Swamp, covering the Tenth Amendment, original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, the Senate president pro tempore, the original colonies, and what happens when a state law runs against the Constitution. Along the way Cam keeps tabs on UCF's double-overtime game, riffs on the British crown, and the chat debates what the Constitution was really written to do. Final Jeopardy goes all in on the grandfather clause and Guinn v. United States (1915), and the night closes with a classic Celebrity Jeopardy sketch.
