Biden judicial nominee unable to recall what Article V of Constitution does
Judge Charnelle Bjelkengren of Spokane County Superior Court in Washington State was nominated by President Biden to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington.
She sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to be vetted for the distinguished position. She received an assortment of questions surrounding the law and the Constitution – some of which she could not answer.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked about the articles of the Constitution.
"Tell me what Article V of the Constitution does," Kennedy said to Bjelkengren.
After a long pause, the judge replied to Kennedy, "Article V is not coming to mind at the moment."
