A judicial nominee of President Joe Biden was apparently stumped by Sen. John Kennedy's basic questions about the Constitution during her Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Spokane County Superior Court Judge Charnelle Bjelkengren, who was nominated to be a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Washington, couldn't answer when Kennedy, R-La., pressed her about articles of the nation's founding document.
“Tell me what Article V of the Constitution does,” Kennedy asked as he began his round of questioning.
“Article V is not coming to mind at the moment,” Bjelkengren replied.
“How about Article II?” Kennedy asked.
