Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century Supreme Court Decisions) for Wednesday, October 20, 2021 (Season 38, Game 28):
The first “self-evident” truth in the Declaration of Independence was quoted & found not to apply to this plaintiff
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Anjolie Chidambaram, a financial writer from San Francisco, California
Jack Hodges, a hotel loyalty analyst from Bethesda, Maryland
Jonathan Fisher, an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida (7-day total: $156,100)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Jonathan is now at 7 wins after beating Matt Amodio last Monday. Will he make it to 8? He’ll need to make it past Anjolie and Jack.
On a slightly more personal note: From October 16-23, there will be a 168-hour charity live-streaming relay on Twitch to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada; more information can be found at gamersvsms.ca. 1 in 385 Canadians live with MS. I’ll be doing my shift as part of the relay on Thursday, October 21 from 2:00 AM to 8:00 AM EDT on my own Twitch channel, twitch.tv/andythequizzer/.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: Who is Dred Scott?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Widely considered the worst decision in the entire history of the U.S. Supreme Court, Dred Scott was an African-American who had been enslaved in Missouri, but felt that because his owners had taken him into free Illinois and Wisconsin, that he should be considered free upon his return to Missouri. Roger B. Taney wrote an incredibly racist justification for his decision based on an outdated worldview in both denying Scott his freedom and striking down the Missouri Compromise as unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, after the case, Scott was transferred to new owners, who emancipated him in 1857. The decision also caused widespread economic panic over fears that slavery would be permitted in Western territories. Abraham Lincoln refused to issue a statement after Taney—who became a Confederate sympathizer after the onset of the Civil War—died in 1864.

Today’s interviews:
Anjolie sleeps with her eyes open.
Jack didn’t qualify for his high school quiz bowl team as a sophomore.
Jonathan is a huge fan of LEGO.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Jonathan’s choice to avoid all-out Daily Double hunting, like today, is going to leave him vulnerable to being defeated in spite of otherwise being dominant during the game.
