Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy stumped one of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees as he asked her to define basic legal definitions.
Kennedy, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked judicial nominee Sara E. Hill to describe the difference between a “stay order” and an “injunction” during a Wednesday hearing. These two terms are basic legal terms taught early on in law schools.

A stay order is taken to stop or suspend a legal proceeding or the actions of a party and is most commonly used to stop litigation from continuing, according to the Legal Information Institute. An injunction is an order requiring a person to either act or cease doing a specific action.
Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin reportedly congratulated Hill for “passing the Kennedy bar exam” following the Louisiana senator’s questioning, according to Judicial Crisis Network president Carrie Severino.
