Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

According to Yale Law librarian Fred Shapiro, who has been charged with compiling the top 10 best quotes of the year for The Associated Press since 2005, what’s the top quote of 2020?

Hint: Though a lawyer’s words don’t take the top spot, they do make up 5 of the 10 entries on the list. President-Elect Joe Biden gets 2 mentions, both from his time on the campaign trail. At number 4 “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,” and 9, “You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.”
Number 6 was from the late, great Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” We all know how that turned out.
Unfortunately White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany (and Above the Law alum) clocked in at 5, “I will never lie to you. You have my word on that,” and 8 is from July on the subject of school reopenings, “The science should not stand in the way of this.”
