When I read the test, a few things came to mind;
1. I wish the Supreme Court still had the caliber of jurists like William O. Douglas and Hugo Black
2. We have become a nation of dim-bulbs.
3. One he got wrong should have been right; "Who regulates interstate commerce?" - The State Government.
4. I wonder where Kenny Hignite is today.
I think today, even if they could give a test as "tough" as this one, they'd skip the Second Amendment. Maybe the Ninth and Tenth as well.
