How on earth are you trying to be the president of the United States, but you don’t know how many Judges there are on the United States Supreme Court? How is that even possible? And who in their right minds would support a presidential candidate who continually shows they don’t have even the most basic civil knowledge?
But then again, if your name is Rick Perry and your base is the Republican voter, then you qualify to run for the presidency if you can prove you know how to spell your first name.
The video below shows Perry, a Republican candidate trying to get his party’s nomination to run against President Obama in 2012, giving an interview to the Des Moines Register editorial board in Iowa earlier today. While answering a question from an interviewer, Perry is heard referring to the “eight unelected and frankly unaccountable judges” in the US Supreme Court. Everyone and their mama knows there are nine Justices, everyone that is, except Perry.
In the same interview, Perry didn’t know how to pronounce Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s name, and had to be helped by one of the questioners.
