Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) once again turned law professor when he quizzed President Biden’s nominee for a district judgeship in Oklahoma about her knowledge of basic legal terms.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, the senator asked Sara E. Hill to explain the difference between a “stay” order and an “injunction.”
"A stay order would prohibit, um, sorry. An injunction would restrain the parties from taking action. A stay order … I'm not sure I can, actually can, can give you that," she answered.
According to the Legal Information Institute, "An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action," while a stay "is an action taken by a court to stop a legal proceeding or the actions of a party."
