Biden judicial nominee appears stumped by basic legal terms: ‘I’m not sure’
If a Biden judicial nominee appears stumped by basic legal terms, it is important for both senators and the nominee to communicate clearly to make sure both parties are on the same page. It is likely that during the process of the confirmation hearing, the nominee may be asked multiple questions about the law and basic legal concepts that they may not know the answer to. In this instance, if the nominee is truly stumped by certain questions it is important for them to be honest about their uncertainty or lack of knowledge in order to avoid any miscommunication.
