Biden's Judicial Nominee Sara Hill Struggles with Legal Definitions During Senate Hearing

Despite the controversy, Hill could become the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge in Oklahoma if confirmed.

Sara Hill, a lawyer nominated by President Biden to serve as a federal judge, struggled to define the difference between a stay order and an injunction during her Senate hearing.
Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, asked Hill the question during the hearing, which has since gone viral on social media.
Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, a conservative advocacy organization, criticized Hill's inability to answer the question.
If confirmed, Hill would be the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge in Oklahoma.
Despite the controversy, Senator Alex Padilla, a Democrat from California, expressed his belief that Hill is more than qualified for the role.
